junior gypsy, heavyweight who has already faced both fighters:

“I've already fought (Stipe) Miocic twice. He's a very tough guy. In my opinion, he can be credited as the greatest heavyweight in UFC history. I think he will get a victory again against (Francis) Ngannou, who is a dangerous guy. He has a gigantic arm and absurd strength, which will be a problem where he can catch him. But if you evaluate, the technique is a little far away. But I see Miocic as a super intelligent guy, he knows how to use his techniques and he has the heaviest hand I've ever felt. (…) I believe in another victory for Miocic”, said Cigano.

August Sakai, UFC fighter:

"Francis Ngannou I was a little frustrated with this delay in fighting for the belt. So, I think his desire will be even greater because of the time he has been waiting. Still, he doesn't go too thirsty for the pot and is a little smarter than the first fight. But I believe that Miocic will fight intelligently and will want to take him down. For me, the result will be the same, with Miocic being the winner”, said the Curitiba native.

Marcos Foot, Ultimate heavyweight:

“I believe in a new victory for (Stipe) Miocic. He has a very good game, he prolongs the fight well with beautiful physical positioning, exactly where (Francis) Ngannou fails. He's a very strong guy, but he loses a lot of power and strength as the fight goes on. I think Miocic wins on points”, said the 'ATT' athlete.

PUBLICITY:

Phillipe Lins, UFC fighter:

“Miocic will emerge as the winner in the fight. I believe he will win the fight for points and impose his game. But it will be a much more difficult fight than the first. I have a friend who trains with Ngannou and he says he (the Cameroonian) is much better, more technical and has improved his wrestling and jiu-jitsu game. It will be one of the best and most anticipated fights of the year”, said Phellipe.

Carlos Felipe Boi, Ultimate athlete:

“In the heavyweight title fight, I believe Miocic will win. It will be just like the first time they faced each other. I think that, even in boxing, Miocic is better, as well as in positioning and strategy”, explained the Bahian.

Jailton Malhadinho, Thunder Fight light heavyweight champion:

“Victory of Francis Ngannou in the first or second round, by knockout. It's going to be a very competitive fight. Miocic looking to strike and put him down and Ngannou looking for that usual brutal knockout. So stay tuned!” concluded the fighter.

Fatal change? Makhachev ignores warning and could end tragically at welterweight!
