UFC 260 on Saturday was supposed to feature a pair of title fights at the top of the card.
But after featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski had to be pulled due to COVID-19, his fight against Brian Ortega will have to wait. We’re left with just one title bout, but it’s a good one: heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic (20-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) vs. Francis Ngannou (15-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) in a rematch.
Naturally, with unofficial “Baddest Man in the World” status on the line in the headliner, it’s what the majority of fans are most looking forward to. But outside that title tilt, what fights below it have the most intrigue?
That’s what we asked this week’s MMA Junkie “Triple Take” panel of Matt Erickson, Farah Hannoun and Danny Segura to weigh in on – listed here alphabetically by last name, not by any overall preference toward their choices, naturally.
Check out their picks below.
