UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic is giving up plenty of size in his rematch with Francis Ngannou.
Miocic weighed in at 234 pounds at Friday’s official weigh-ins for UFC 260 in Las Vegas, nearly 30 pounds lighter than Ngannou, who came in at 263 pounds. That difference is more pronounced than in their first meeting at UFC 220 in January 2018, when Miocic weighed in at 246 pounds – Ngannou was also at 263 for that fight – and went on to defeat Ngannou by unanimous decision.
Co-main event welterweights Tyron Woodley and Vicente Luque also successfully made weight at 171 and 170.
