There is a new UFC heavyweight champion and a new combat sports superstar. Francis Ngannou is possibly on his way to owning one of the greatest years in combat sports, and it began with a brutal knockout of Stipe Miocic, the greatest heavyweight of all-time. So what's next for Ngannou? Millions? Endorsements? UFC events in Paris or Africa? The sky is the limit.
As for Miocic, the heavyweight GOAT is far from out of the conversation. Is a trilogy fight with Ngannou part of his plans or will he temporarily step aside and wait to see how the division plays out?
