Leg kick by Ngannou to start. Body shot follows. Right hand lands by Ngannou and Miocic barely flinched. What?

Ngannnou also sprawled and turned tables on Miocic. He wrestled and landed shots before the champ got a way. Big moment. Then he head kicked Stipe. Miocic is in great shape and his ability to take heavy strikes is owed in part to that so far.
R1 10-9 Ngannou
