The first round started with Ngannou taking the initiative to attack, even with caution, while Miocic moved and avoided being cornered by his rival. The champion tried to catch the legs of the Cameroonian, but Ngannou resisted, sprawled and dealt a series of blows to the champion, who withstood the punishment and got up again. Ngannou showed tranquility and, without flinching, kicked Miocic’s legs, punctuating until the break.

Betting on the move, Miocic returned to the second round using speed to avoid being cornered by Ngannou. The Cameroonian, however, maintained his fighting strategy, and after connecting a beautiful left-wing straight that unbalanced the American, confirmed the knockout victory with yet another leftist blow that knocked out Miocic in an unappealable way.
