BOSTON: History was made in Boston on Saturday evening as Stipe Miocic successfully defended his UFC heavyweight title for the third time against a brave Francis Ngannou at UFC 220. Miocic had a big experience advantage heading into the bout, but Ngannou had looked unstoppable since entering the organisation with six wins and six finishes since his promotional debut in December 2015. The crowd showed their appreciation for both fighters with a standing ovation at the final bell, but the winner was clear as day. Miocic took the scorecards 50-44 across the board as the crowd chanted “Stipe, Stipe, Stipe.” Ngannou put on a brave display in defeat, but the night belonged to Miocic as he achieved something that no other UFC heavyweight had ever done before.
