News about Stipe Miocic

Francis Ngannou has perhaps overcome adversity to triumph against all the odds life stacked against him more than any other fighting champion in history.  It is one of the reasons the softly-spoken, hard-punching powerhouse is adored by fans and there has been such an outpouring of sympathy at the heartbreaking news that his 15-month old son, Kobe, has died.  Posting on Instagram, Ngannou, 37, said: 'Too soon to leave but yet he's gone. My little boy, my mate, my partner Kobe was full of life and joy. Now, he's laying without life. I shouted his name over and over but he's not responding.

Jones and Aspinall were courteous toward each other as much rumors surrounding a potential conflict between them.

Despite that, he seems to be recovering well from both of his injuries after appearing to hospitalize a fan at a meet-and-greet function.

He's consistently called out Jones and wants to tackle Miocic, but the UFC has made it clear that they will still have a plan on both Americans meeting first when Jones returns.
