The UFC heavyweight championship will be back on the line, and two familiar participants will clash for gold in the UFC 260 main event.
Reigning titleholder Stipe Miocic will attempt to further solidify his status as the greatest heavyweight of all-time when he runs it back with devastating knockout specialist Francis Ngannou.
Miocic (20-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) handed Ngannou (15-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) a lopsided unanimous decision loss in their first meeting at UFC 220 in January 2018. Both men have endured some ups and down since, but now they’re set to cross paths again.
Check out the official poster for the event below, which dubs Miocic vs. Ngannou 2 as the “biggest baddest rematch” (via Twitter):
BIGGEST. BADDEST. REMATCH.
