The UFC is making its big return in 2018 with UFC 220 coming up in Boston, pitting Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou against each other.
In the above video, Miocic said that Ngannou “hits super hard.”
“We’re making a big thing about it. I’ve fought some good guys, you know? That’s how we are. I’m not much of a trash talker, I just like to fight. That’s what I do.”
“I’m comfortable with being the underdog…You see, every time I’m the underdog, I win, so I’m not worried about it.”
A win for Miocic would mean his third consecutive title defense; that would certainly be a record. For his part, however, Ngannou has four straight first-round finishes, most recently against Alistair Overeem at UFC 218.
The first preliminary fight starts at 6:00 P.M., with the remaining preliminary fights starting on Fox Sports 1 at 8 P.M. Pay-per-view coverage starts at 10 P.M., while Miocic and Ngannou are expected to enter the Octagon at around 12:30 A.M. In other words, if you are planning on watching, make sure to make a day out of it. Two days, technically!
