Francis Ngannou straight up took the Heavyweight championship in a strong victory over Stipe Miocic at UFC 260. The Cameroon native had been on a tear recently with four straight knockouts in just 2:43 of real-time in the Octagon. But, the Cleveland native was resting on an impressive run of title defenses. He had already beat Ngannou in their previous meeting back at UFC 220. In the prior fight, Miocic had to deploy some grappling to keep the challenger from those devastating striking opportunities. That was really going to have to be the strategy tonight as well. Ngannou makes no effort to hide the fact that he’s coming to knock you out. It was amazing to watch this punch collide in real-time. Just an absolutely devastating strike that would have taken just about anybody out. There are so many people weighing in on the spectacle and the entire UFC world is absolutely rocked.
FRANCIS NGANNOU IS THE UFC CHAMPION! 🏆
