God damn Volkanovski.. I really hope the UFC has an ace up their sleeve for a co-main event spot because that card is pure shit now.
So Monday came and went with no fight addition to the card. I have to imagine Tuesday is the absolute last day they would add something.
I don't think Ngannou is much better than their first encounter. I am taking Miocic as the +102 underdog and think he wins by unanimous decision like the first time around. Similar to Diamond and McGregor, Miocic just needs to survive the first round.
Best fight of Francis' career. Amazing job. Stipe didn't look himself after the opening barrage. He barely attacked until the start of the second round, then was quickly outdone.
