WATCH: Khabib Nurmagomedov Presents Daniel Cormier With a Gift That Delights Him

All the fighters in the UFC get started with one goal in mind. i.e. To become the undisputed champion in their respective weight categories. While this is the main aim for every fighter, other perks such as rankings on the pound-for-pound list among other things act as added motivation. 

With the popularity of the new UFC video game by EA, fighters often keep an eye out for their stats and rankings on the game, as a higher-ranking will be another feather in their caps. In a nice gesture for the fighters, the people responsible for the video game have introduced a five-star system. 

While ‘The Eagle’ was giving ‘DC’ his necklace, the former double champion joked that he never thought he would get it after losing twice to Miocic for the heavyweight championship of the world.

Can Francis Ngannou secure a win in the rematch at UFC 260?

Daniel Cormier was not successful in either of his two rematches against Stipe, as the Ohio native did an excellent job of making the necessary changes in his game plan. Due to these minor tweaks, he secured wins on both occasions after being knocked out in their first meeting. 

There is no doubt in the minds of UFC fans that Miocic will have made some similar tweaks for his rematch at UFC 260 as well.

Francis Ngannou clawed his way back to the top with four devastating first-round finishes. In the first fight, Stipe used his wrestling and grappling skills well to wear on the challenger and tire him out. 

This time around ‘The Predator’ believes that he has made the necessary changes that will help him last longer and fare better in the grappling exchanges. 

It will be interesting to see what changes both men have made as they clash tomorrow at UFC 260.
