According to many experts, the UFC's heavyweight division has been shuffled following Daniel Cormier's retirement in 2020. With injuries borne by both Stipe Miocic and DC effectively putting the division on hold. The weight class will most likely benefit from having an active champion and serious contenders this year.
The heavyweight crown will once again be up for grabs in the main event of UFC 260. Fighting Miocic in a highly-anticipated rematch, 'The Predator' Francis Ngannou will be looking to right the wrongs from the duo's first encounter.
