Stipe Miocic Loses Championship Crown
4 years agoArguably the greatest heavyweight the UFC has ever seen, Stipe Miocic lost his crown to the sport's biggest hitter in Francis N'Gannou on Saturday. This was actually a rematch for the two fighters, as both competitors battled each other in January of 2018, when Miocic won via unanimous decision. This time would be much different, though, as Miocic suffered defeat via second-round knockout. Through 9:08 of action, Miocic landed 12 significant strikes while absorbing 36 significant strikes. With the overall scorecard now tied 1-1 between the two, it's very likely we will see a rubber match after a title defense for N'Gannou. Miocic still has some gas in the tank and should still be considered a top-tier heavyweight.
