Stipe Miočić će se suočiti sa Francisom Ngannouom na UFC220 u Bostonu 20. januara, u igri će naravno biti pojas prvaka UFC-ove teške kategorije. Miočić je gistovao kod Ariela Helwania u poznatom “The MMA Hour-u” i tamo je izjavio sledeće: 

Obviously, for sure. Listen, I feel a little bit disrespected, but I’m not going to dwell on it, because im getting paid. He’s got more hype on him I guess. The guy hits super hard. We’re making a big thing about it. I’ve fought some good guys, you know? That’s how we are. I’m not much of a trash talker I just like to fight, that’s what I do. All the pressure is on him, honestly. … The best guys he’s faced, I knocked them out two years ago. So, whatever.
