If it wasn’t the best heavyweight matchup in UFC history, it was pretty darn close.
If Stipe Miocic retained his championship, he would set a UFC record for consecutive heavyweight title defenses with three (yeah, there’s some churn in this division). If Francis Ngannou—a slight betting favorite despite his challenger status, per OddsShark—were to gain the victory, it would cement the hard-hitting French-Cameroonian as the company’s newest bona fide star.
That was the main event at UFC 220, which went down Saturday from the chilly streets of Boston. But it was far from the only intriguing bout. It wasn’t even the only title match. The co-main event saw Daniel Cormier put his light heavyweight belt on the line against upstart Volkan Oezdemir.
As always, the final stat lines only reveal so much. These are the real winners and losers from UFC 220.
And for the literal-minded among us, full card results appear at the end.
