Preview
Billed as UFC's "biggest, baddest, rematch," Miocic comes out of his legendary trilogy against Daniel Cormier to once again face Ngannou, who he defeated by unanimous decision at UFC 226 in 2018. This time, however, the 38-year-old Miocic finds himself facing a more seasoned and experienced fighter, who has won each of his last four fights via first-round knockout.
Should Miocic once again beat Ngannou, he would improve his already record number of UFC Heavyweight Championship defenses to five. It would also likely mean a super fight against Jon "Bones" Jones, who appears to be next in line for a UFC heavyweight title fight after making the move up from the lightweight division.
