Read our privacy policy Francis Ngannou delivered a brutal knockout to defeat Stipe Miocic and become the new UFC heavyweight champion in the main event of UFC 260 on Saturday night. Heading into the pair’s first meeting, the UFC’s biggest power puncher Ngannou was riding a win streak of four straight first-round stoppages, but his cardio and grappling deficiencies were exposed by Miocic – the consensus greatest heavyweight of all time – who recorded a unanimous decision victory. Coming into Saturday night’s main event at the UFC’s Apex institute in Las Vegas, Ngannou was enjoying an almost identical streak, having added former champions Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez to his victims list as well as Curtis Blaydes for a second time and Jairzinho Rozenstruik. But Ngannou, with UFC welterweight champion and elite wrestler Kamaru Usman in his corner, stuffed the takedown attempt expertly, sprawling effectively and taking Miocic’s back to pour on heavy strikes.
