UFC 260: MIOCIC VS NGANNOU 2 | 6th Round Post-Fight Show

Zane Simon & Eddie Mercado are back tonight to breakdown the UFC 260 PPV event. The guys will have hot takes, possible next fights, as well as reactions to the overall event.

Tonight, the UFC showcased what they were calling the “Undisputed Biggest, Undeniably Baddest Rematch’. It was touted as being an all out battle for the UFC HW Championship between fight veterans Stipe Miocic & Francis N’Gannou in the main event. The UFC 260 PPV event was broadcast from the Apex Center in Las Vegas.

Returning to the octagon we had the 2-time & current reigning UFC HW Champ, Stipe Miocic entering the bout with a 20-3 record, after a 7 mo break from UFC action to defend his title against the hardest puncher in UFC history, #1 ranked HW ‘The Predator’ Francis N’Gannou – who entered the bout with his 15-3 record, on a 4-fight win streak over the likes of Rozenstruik, JDS, Velasquez & Blaydes – all 1st Rd finishes in under a minute. Tonight, the “baddest man on the planet”, N’Gannou, ended this brawl at a mere 53 seconds of Rd 2, via KO/TKO - Left Hook, to take the belt.

In the co-main, we had a Welterweight tilt between ‘The Chosen One’ Tyron Woodley & ‘The Silent Assassin’ Vicente Luque. Woodley was on a 3-fight losing streak to Covington, Burns & Usman. Luque was on a 2-fight win streak, having brutally defeated both Randy Brown & Niko Price during the past year – only having lost 1 of his last 9 fights. Luque impressed us with a dominant 1st Rd finish via D’Arce Choke sub.

Also on the card, a Featherweight bout between fight veteran Thomas ‘Thominhas’ Almeida, with his 22-4 record, on a 3-fight losing streak, matched up against the up+comer ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley, with a 12-1 record. Sugar took the ‘W’ with a 3rd Rd finish. In addition to that, we had Women’s Flyweights Gillian ‘The Savage’ Robertson & ‘Fear the’ Miranda Maverick. Maverick had won her last 6 bouts via sub, decision win, two wins via rear naked choke, another decision win and most recently a Dr stoppage, tonight she added to her streak with another decision victory.

These bouts were preceded by our featured main card opener – which was a 46-second bout between Jamie Mullarkey & Khama Worthy, and a brief 5-bout undercard.

Overall, this 10-bout card saw 3 1st Rd finishes, 2 subs & 4 KO/TKO’s – including our main event, along with 4 decisions - 1 split. Rounding things out, bonuses for putting forth POTN efforts went to Francis N'Gannou & Sean O'Malley; FOTN honors went to Tyron Woodley vs. Vicente Luque. What a night of fights we have to share with you, join us to discuss all the action...
