The heavyweight title is on the line Saturday in a hard-hitting rematch at UFC 260.
Champion [autotag]Stipe Miocic[/autotag] (20-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) puts the belt on the line against [autotag]Francis Ngannou[/autotag] (15-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) in the main event. The two fought a little more than three years ago at UFC 220, where Miocic won a lopsided unanimous decision.
Ngannou lost a second straight fight after that to Derrick Lewis, but since that skid has bounced back in about as impressive a way as can be imaginable. He has four straight first-round knockout wins – in an average time of about 40 seconds each, including over two former champions.
Miocic and Ngannou are a pretty clear-cut 1-2 atop the UFC’s heavyweight rankings. But lurking out there is [autotag]Jon Jones[/autotag], the most dominant light heavyweight in history who has moved up a weight class and vacated his 205-pound title.
Presumably, Jones will get a title shot against the Miocic-Ngannou winner in his first heavyweight fight. But which of those two would he probably prefer to go after the title against?
We asked our panel on this week’s episode of “Spinning Back Clique” whether they thought Jones would like a Miocic fight or one with Ngannou. Check out the video above to hear Brian “Goze” Garcia, Farah Hannoun, Danny Segura and moderator Simon Head weigh in. You can also watch the complete episode below.
