I got Stipe in this one. Speed, durability, composure.
Oh shit. A heavyweight fight that actually means something.
man people are really underselling stipe as hard as francis hits stipe is faster,and the way superior striker not to mention his ground game is very good
Francis has a ton of hype, and most of it is deserved, but i still think Stipe takes this.
We'll finally get to see how Stipe is against someone that isn't 40 years old and at the end of their career. If he wins this, it would be hard to deny him best UFC HW of all time. The only guy left he would even have to fight is Cain.
Stipe has already proved himself way more than Weidman ever did.This match determines whether or not having a Weidman like run as champ.
So MMAFighting isn't a legit source?
"One of the most fascinating heavyweight title fights in recent memory has been booked. And we won’t have to wait very long for it."
"Stipe Miocic will defend the belt against Francis Ngannou in the main event of UFC 220 on Jan. 20 in Boston, sources confirmed with MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani on Wednesday. MMAjunkie was the first to report the news."
"UFC 220 already had a viable main event. Daniel Cormier will defend his UFC light heavyweight title against Volkan Oezdemir on the card. That matchup has now been bumped down to the co-main event to make away for Miocic vs. Ngannou."
Francis needs to work on takedown defense and cardio heavily
