Francis Ngannou got his revenge over Stipe Miocic on Saturday when he claimed the heavyweight title in the UFC 260 main event.

After losing a dominant decision in their first fight at UFC 220 in January 2018, Ngannou (16-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) turned the tables in the rematch when he scored a second-round knockout of Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) in the headlining bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Who should be the first challenger for the new champion? Jon Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) seems to the frontrunner, but some clear obstacles exist before it can come to fruition.

So what’s going to come next, then? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Ngannou’s future after UFC 260.
