Boston, Massachusetts hosted an intense night of fights on Saturday, Jan. 20. The world’s most famous mixed martial arts promotion was in Boston, Massachusetts for UFC 220.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) locked in a gruesome heavyweight war for the night’s main event, as Francis Ngannou made a fight for the title. However, in the end, reigning UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic made UFC history.
Miocic entered the octagon for UFC 220 on a five fight winning streak, and he was not giving it up, even for the highly hyped challenger in Francis Ngannou.
In the end, Stipe would walk away with a landslide victory, and cement his place in history as the most successful champion in UFC heavyweight history.
It was a classic performance against his most dangerous opponent, and Miocic not only won, he excelled in the UFC 220 main event.
But don’t take our word for it.
Here’s the UFC fighter reactions:
Stipe going to wrestle and grind Francis up against the cage to wear him down a bit. #ufc220

Exhaustion in a fight is the worst thing in the world!!!

Stipe working on winning yet another round. This 4th should be a strong 10-8 for the champion. #UFCBoston

Ngannou’s neck is gonna be more sore than a hooker’s after a 12 hour shift #ufc220
— Ricardo Lamas (@RicardoLamasMMA) January 21, 2018
This is getting ugly for Francis. Stipe with a little more on the gnp will get the stoppage here. #ufc220
— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) January 21, 2018
I bet Stipe to win in 4th or 5th so if he can finish him in this round I will win an extra $300! Come on Stipe please!!
— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) January 21, 2018
Oh shit. That was round 4?!?! I thought it was 5. Ok let’s go!!

@stipemiocicufc is a bad fuckin white boy. If he isn’t at the top for pound for pound best then the system is seriously flawed. #worldrecord
