“If Francis learned from the first fight with Stipe, he should be winning this fight before the end,” Gane said. Stipe Miocic thoroughly outclassed Francis Ngannou, the last time the pair met. Wary of Ngannou’s unbelievable, the heavyweight king Miocic, kept Ngannou at bay, the entire fight.

Since their fight at UFC 220, Miocic has just fought with one opponent, although thrice – Daniel Cormier. He lost to DC at UFC 226, but came back strongly in the next two fights at UFC 241 and UFC 252 respectively. Ngannou, on the other hand, has learnt a lot since his loss to Stipe Miocic. Though he slid further after the Miocic bout, losing to Derrick Lewis, he went on a rampage after that, finishing all his next 4 opponents in the first round, including the likes of Cain Velasquez, Jairzinho Rozenstruik (unbeaten then).
