Francis Ngannou knocked out Stipe Miocic in the second round of UFC 260 to become the new heavyweight championship on Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Ngannou landed a couple of nasty punches early in the second round and appeared to corner Miocic against the cage. Miocic got back up and hit Ngannou and thought he had the advantage in the moment but opened himself up for more damage from the Cameroon native.

Ngannou landed a nasty hook and caught Miocic by surprise and stayed on top of him for the win.

It was a complete 180 from their first match at UFC 220 in 2018 when the fight went the full five rounds. Ngannou lost that match via unanimous decision and came all the way back more than three years later to get his revenge to become the 17th undisputed heavyweight champion in UFC history.
