According to UFC commentator Joe Rogan, we could be seeing a resurgence of days similar to the likes of when “Iron” Mike Tyson<\/a> was the most feared man to step into the ring with.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend at UFC 218<\/a>, rising heavyweight star Francis Ngannou put together a highlight reel knockout<\/a> over the always dangerous Alistair Overeem. With the win, Ngannou has earned a shot at the UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic and the two are reportedly being targeted<\/a> to fight at UFC 220 in January.<\/p>\n

UFC commentator Joe Rogan was there in Detroit for UFC 218 and saw Ngannou’s ferocious KO cageside and spoke with Bellator heavyweight Justin Wren about the potential of the native of Cameroon on Rogan’s JRE MMA Show podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow they\u2019ve got a star,\u201d Rogan told Wren (transcribed by Mike Bohn for MMA Junkie<\/a>). \u201cI think Ngannou, one or two more fights, you\u2019re going to be looking at Mike Tyson days. That\u2019s what I think. You\u2019re going to watch fights just to see how long these mother(expletives) can survive against this guy. That\u2019s what I think. That could be their big, breakout star.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Francis<\/a><\/p>\n

Odds have been released<\/a> for a Miocic and Ngannou title fight and the challenger is the favorite in the matchup. Despite Miocic having the belt and having a list of opponents finished in the first rounds during his reign as champion, Ngannou’s vicious display of power against Overeem is very fresh in people’s minds.<\/p>\n

Do you think we will see Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou meet in the Octagon in January at UFC 220? Who will walk away the victor? Let us know in the comment section!<\/p>\n
