UFC 260 Final Fight Stats: Francis Ngannou’s power overcomes Stipe Miocic’s crazy accuracy

Stipe Miocic stuck Francis Ngannou with 12 of his 13 significant strike attempts in the main event of UFC 260 for a landing rate of 94 percent, which was impressive. But as we know, in MMA a high landing percentage doesn’t always translate to a win. And against someone like Ngannou that stat is meaningless if Ngannou can connect with power. That’s what happened in the second round of Ngannou’s matchup opposite Miocic. That power stopped the fight at the 52-second mark of the second round and ended the second title reign of Stipe Miocic.

The result of the rematch between these two differed greatly from the first time they faced off.
