Should Stipe Miocic beat Francis Ngannou, he&#8217;ll even break the record for UFC heavyweight title defenses. Which is such a difficult task that the record stands at two defenses.\u00a0So far, Ngannou&#8217;s record can&#8217;t really compare with Miocic&#8217;s, but he&#8217;s trying to catch up. Ngannou has finished Bojan Mihajlovic (RD1 1:34),\u00a0Anthony Hamilton (RD1 1:57),\u00a0Andrei Arlovski (RD1 1:32) and most recently knocked out Alistair Overeem in the first round. Will he be able to add Stipe Miocic on that list with hashtag &#8216;and new&#8217; in Boston on January 20th? We are all waiting to find out.<\/p>\n<p><i>This article first appeared on<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\">BJPenn.com<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>on 1\/4\/2018.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stipe Miocic is not intimidated.
