Tonight, the UFC showcased what they were calling the “Undisputed Biggest, Undeniably Baddest Rematch’. It was meant to be an all out battle for the UFC Heavyweight Championship between fight veterans Stipe Miocic and Francis N’Gannou in the main event. The UFC 260 PPV (pay-per-view) event was broadcast from the Apex Center, Las Vegas, NV.

Returning to the octagon for that main event, we had the two-time and current reigning UFC Heavyweight Champion, Stipe Miocic. Who entered the bout with a remarkable 20-3 record, after a seven-month break from UFC action, when he fought and defeated Daniel Cormier back-to-back. Stipe was defending his title against arguably the hardest puncher in UFC history, the #1 ranked Heavyweight, ‘The Predator’ Francis N’Gannou – who was entering the bout with his impressive, 15-3 record, on a four-fight win streak over the likes of Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Junior dos Santos, Cain Velasquez and Curtis Blaydes – all first round finishes in under a minute.

In the co-main event, we had a Welterweight tilt between ‘The Chosen One’ Tyron Woodley and ‘The Silent Assassin’ Vicente Luque. Woodley was on a 3-fight loss 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. He has only lost 1 of his last 9 fights, which was via Unanimous Decision against Stephen Thompson back at UFC 244.

Also on the card, we had an exciting Featherweight bout between fight veteran Thomas ‘Thominhas’ Almeida, with his storied 22-4 career record, on a three-fight losing streak, matched up against the up-and-comer ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley, sporting a 12-1 record (with only 1 loss since Dec, 2019). In addition to that, we had a fun match-up between 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 & most recently a doctor stoppage due to a cut delivered in Rd 1 against Liana Jojua at UFC 254.

These bouts were preceded by our featured main card opener between Jamie Mullarkey & Khama Worthy, as well as a five-bout undercard. What a wild night full of fights we have to share with you!
