UFC president Dana White believes a super fight between Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou for the heavyweight championship is likely to take place this spring.
"We've got Stipe and Francis probably in April," White told ESPN's Laura Sanko on Thursday.
Miocic reclaimed his title during a rematch against Daniel Cormier at UFC 241 before successfully defending the belt in a trilogy fight with Cormier last August.
Ngannou (15-3, 11 KOs) last fought at UFC 249, earning Performance of the Night after his knockout of Jairzinho Rozenstruik 20 seconds into the first round. It was Ngannou's fourth consecutive victory after he dropped back-to-back fights in 2018—including one to Miocic.
