Om två veckor kommer kanske en av de största tungviktsmatcherna genom tiderna att äga rum i UFC, då tungviktsmästaren Stipe Miocic ska försvara bältet mot den fruktade prospekten Francis Ngannou under UFC 220.
Ngannou har blivit känd för sin råa knockoutkraft och avslutade tidigare den forne mästaren Alistair Overeem i första ronden med en otäck uppercut.
Miocic berättar att han trots detta inte känner sig hotad.

Francis Ngannou]’s tough, he’s big, strong, hits hard but he’s just another dude. That’s what it is. You’re telling me Mark Hunt doesn’t hit that hard? Or Roy Nelson? Or Junior dos Santos? Come on. He hits hard and definitely if you get hit square like that [it’s bad news], but I’m definitely going to keep my head up, keep my head on a swivel, and make sure I’m doing everything right.
I was there [at the UFC 220 press conference] so I don’t get fined. Let him do what he wants. He’s doing well. He’s doing something right, he’s fighting for the title. But like I said, as long as I’m here, nobody else is getting that belt. I worked way too hard to give it up. I sacrificed way too much to give it up. Unfortunately, as long as I’m here, no one’s getting that belt.
UFC 220 äger rum i TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts den 20 januari.
