UFC 260 delivered in ways unimaginable heading in. A new heavyweight champion was crowned as Francis Ngannou brutalized Stipe Miocic to claim the belt that eluded him three years ago. Ngannou continued his nasty run of knockouts with a fifth straight, and this may have been the most violent yet.
Plus, Vicente Luque and Tyron Woodley threw down in a back-and-forth battle that last just over three minutes, but was good enough to earn Fight of the Night honors. And rising bantamweight star Sean O'Malley returned to form with a brutal third-round knockout of Thomas Almeida.
