UFC 260 goes down this weekend, on March 27th, with a heavyweight title rematch between Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou in the main event. This is a complete guide to watching the event.
Live, from the Apex Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, this weekend’s UFC event has a doozy of a main event. Arguably the greatest heavyweight of all time, Stipe Miocic faces the heavy handed and always terrifying Francis Ngannou, in a rematch of their 2018 fight, in which Stipe successfully defended his title.
The co-main event sees former welterweight champ Tyron Woodley in a do-or-die situation as he takes on Vicente Luque. Also on the card are familiar names like Sean O’Malley, Thomas Almeida, and more.
While the event lost several fights to COVID-19, particularly the featherweight title fight between Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega, the card still promises to be entertaining.
