And the two fights for the UFC's heaviest belts were the highlights of the poster. In the main fight, Miocic will try to defend the heavyweight belt for the second time, after winning it against Fabricio Werdum and hold it against alistair overeem. And he, together with the challenger Ngannou, appears in the foreground of the image, facing each other. The caption reads: “The baddest men in the world battle for the UFC heavyweight title.”
Below the image of Miocic and Ngannou are Cormier and Oezdemir. After losing to Jon Jones At UFC 214, DC ended up regaining his belt when “Bones” fell into an anti-doping test. Starting his second reign, the American takes on Volkan “No Time” Oezdemir, known for his heavy hands and quick knockouts – in his three Ultimate victories, he knocked out two opponents in less than a minute.
In addition to the two duels involving belts, UFC 220 will have the presence, so far, of four Brazilians: the rooster Thomas almeida measure forces with Rob font, flyweight Alexandre pantoja faces Dustin Ortiz, while Gleison Tibau returns from suspension against Islam makhachev in light weight. Finally, Francimar Bodão catches Gian Villante at light heavyweight.
