CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – All 22 fighters are official for Saturday’s UFC 220 in Boston, which features two title fights at the top of the bill.
In the main event, heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic (17-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) takes on challenger Francis Ngannou (11-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC). In the co-feature, light heavyweight titleholder Daniel Cormier (19-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) meets Volkan Oezdemir (15-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC).
The only real drama came from Cormier, who was last to weigh in. He needed the towel, but hit 205 pounds on the button with about 20 minutes to spare in the two-hour window. His opponent, Oezdemir, was 205, as well. Miocic was 246 for his defense against Ngannou, who was 263.
UFC 220 takes place Saturday at TD Garden in Boston. The main card, which includes two title fights, airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
