UFC Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic had his title on the line this past Saturday at UFC 260. The firefighter was defending against Francis Ngannou inside the UFC APEX from Las Vegas, Nevada live on PPV.
Although he is regarded by many as the Greatest Heavyweight in UFC history, Miocic entered this fight as the underdog.
Miocic was looking for his 7th successful defence of the Championship when he headed into the octagon at the weekend. If Stipe won? He would’ve broken the record for defences of the belt.
The fight ended in the second round with a brutal knockout of the now former Champion. Ngannou was extremely impressive in his takedown defence and general patience before getting the knockout win.
Dana White on Stipe Miocic
UFC commentator and podcasting star Joe Rogan spoke to the media following UFC 260, and in particular talked about the future of Stipe Miocic in the company and sport as a whole.
‘It could be the end of a long and storied career,’ Joe Rogan said of Stipe Miocic during the UFC 260 post-fight show. “It’s entirely up to him. I’m sure he’s gonna take some time and rest and think things through.”
‘But what a career the man has had” Rogan continued. “Very underappreciated, beaten legends. But I think he ran into an unstoppable force tonight. When you have a guy like Francis who is a one-in-a-million physical specimen, maybe one in eighty million, right?’
