4 burning questions heading into UFC 260: Who’s ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet?’

The biggest prize in MMA is up for grabs in the main event of UFC 260 as the consensus greatest heavyweight champion in UFC history takes on arguably the scariest knockout artist in the sport in a huge heavyweight title rematch.

Stipe Miocic has been there, seen it, done it, and has the UFC belts and records to prove it. He’s statistically the best heavyweight to ever rule the UFC’s top division, but he’s set to face off against a resurgent Francis Ngannou, who is determined to make amends for his lopsided decision loss to Miocic at UFC 220 back in 2018.

The heavyweight title clash headlines the card, with co-main support coming from a pivotal clash at 170 pounds, as former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley takes on rising Brazilian contender Vicente Luque.

UFC 260 takes place Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+.

Ahead of the event, we take a look at four burning questions we’ll be seeking answers to when the fighters take to the cage.
