UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic doesn’t appear all that keen to run it back with Francis Ngannou . All signs point to Ngannou (15-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) getting the next title shot at Miocic (20-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) after the champ successfully defended the belt in his trilogy fight with Daniel Cormier at UFC 252 this month. UFC president Dana White has said multiple times that’s “definitely” the fight he wants . The problem, however, is that Miocic has already thoroughly beaten Ngannou. He handed “The Predator” his first octagon defeat by unanimous decision at UFC 220 in January 2018, but since then Ngannou has worked his way back up.
