Stipe Miocic vs Francis Ngannou 2: Storylines

These two will take the octagon with the heavyweight title at stake in the most thrilling bout of the night. This upcomingrematch after Miocic’s triumph in 2018 seems to face two stronger fighters, who both have reasons to be confident.

Miocic, considered one of the greatest – if not the best – heavyweight champions in history, is currently holding the title for a second spell. Previously, he defended it three consecutive times, and after losing it at the hands of Daniel Cormier, he took revenge to regain the belt and defended it against the same opponent.

Ngannou, on the other hand, made his way back to a stage like the upcoming one after recording four consecutive wins by first-round knockouts. ‘The Predator’ finished quickly his latest bouts to prove that he’s up to the challenge for the heavyweight title. Will he dethrone Miocic?
