Francis Ngannou had a six-fight opening run in the UFC leading to his first title shot, during which he stopped all opponents inside the distance, earning two performance bonuses in the process. Then he lost to champion Stipe Miocic via Unanimous Decision, and failed to bounce back, as he next lost a Unanimous Decision to Derrick Lewis. However, “The Predator” put together four wins in a row, in a combined time of 3:28, earning another title shot.

In the main of UFC 260, a new baddest man on the plant was crowned, as Ngannou took the heavyweight belt from Miocic via KO at 0:52 of Round 2.
