Francis Ngannou has surprised everyone with his latest announcement.
The former undisputed UFC heavyweight champion has expressed his desire to have a third bout with former two-time champion Stipe Miocic in the MMA world. This comes right after his sensational boxing debut against Tyson Fury over the weekend.
After parting ways with the UFC earlier this year, Ngannou signed a multi-fight contract with the PFL (Professional Fighters League).
He recently made his comeback to the combat sports scene by taking on WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in a 10-round professional boxing match. During the fight, he managed to score an impressive knockdown in the third round, although the final result was a closely contested split decision loss to Fury.
Looking ahead, Ngannou is keen to square off with Stipe Miocic, who was removed from UFC 295 just this month. He sees this as an opportunity to stay active while he awaits a highly anticipated showdown with Jon Jones. In his own words, “I’ve been calling out Jones, but I can take on Stipe Miocic in the meantime while waiting for Jon Jones to return.”
