UFC 260 will be a pay-per-event for the history books as MMA fans will get to see a rematch of the promotion's top two heavyweight fighters and we have all the details on how you can watch Miocic vs Ngannou 2 on TV or online.
It's been over three years since Stipe Miocic and Francis "The Predator" Ngannou met in the Octagon at UFC 220 back in January of 2018. At that time, Miocic was defending his heavyweight title and he was successful in doing so as he defeated Ngannou by unanimous decision during round five of the fight.
Miocic then went on to lose his heavyweight title to Daniel Cormier later in the year at UFC 226. However, he retook it the following year at UFC 241 when he defeated Cormier by total knockout. Then in August of last year at UFC 252, Miocic was able to successfully defend his title in a rematch with Cormier in which he won by decision in round five.
Following his loss to Miocic, Ngannou went on to have several outstanding victories at three UFC Fight Nights and UFC 249 in which he defeated Curtis Blaydes, Cain Velasquez, Junior Dos Santos, and Jairzinho Rozenstruik. In fact, in his last four fights, Ngannou has won by knockout in the first round so Miocic will certainly have his work cut out for him tonight.
Elsewhere on the card, Tryon Woodley will take on Vicente Luque in a welterweight bout, Sean O'Malley and Thomas Almeida will face off in a bantamweight bout, Gillian Robertson and Miranda Maverick will meet in the octagon for a women's flyweight bout and Jamie Mullarkey and Khama Worthy will go toe to toe in a lightweight bout.
Whether you're rooting for Miocic to successfully defend his title once again or hoping that Ngannou will become the UFC's next heavyweight champion, we'll show you how to watch UFC 260 from anywhere in the world so you don't miss a second of Miocic vs Ngannou 2.
