UFC 260 Preview
Stipe Miocic has a chance to add to his already legendary resume as he defends his heavyweight title against Francis Ngannou.
Even before entering the ring on Saturday, Miocic has a case as one of the best heavyweights of all-time. He holds the record for most successful title defenses at heavyweight and most heavyweight title victories, with six.
Miocic has lost just once since 2015 — a knockout at the hands of Daniel Cormier. He avenged that loss — twice — and looks to continue his run against Ngannou. Miocic beat Ngannou in 2018, using his grappling skills to neutralize Ngannou massive power.
Ngannou has knocked out four consecutive opponents and says he’s made some improvements since their meeting in 2018.
“Obviously we have a game plan for Stipe, but for the past two years, I’ve been working not just for Stipe, but for any other challenge that could come my way,” Ngannou said. “In order to be ready for that, I have to do anything I can in my power in terms of training and trying to improve in any area of the fighting game.
“I wouldn’t say specifically for Stipe — I’m doing things to improve my game, which includes building good skills to fight a guy like Stipe. Remember, after Stipe, that is not the end — there is always a challenge coming your way all the time.”
The fight also marks the return of Sean O’Malley, a polarizing figure in the UFC who is coming off his first loss eight months ago against Marlon Vera. It was his first loss as a pro, but his confidence is not shaken.
“It comes from the work; I’ve been doing this for 10 years now,” O’Malley told UFC.com. “I’ve had a lot of fights, and each fight camp I learn a little bit more. The confidence comes from the preparation I’ve put in.”
O’Malley is facing off against Thomas Almeida, who has lost four of his last five.
“What excites me most about this matchup is that he’s a good fighter,” O’Malley said. “Going into this fight, this dude’s technical. I’m going to have to be really calculated and set up my shots to get to his chin. He’s got good defense, good offense, and he gets me excited. It’s a tough fight and I think it’s gonna make putting his lights out even better.”
