No words needed.  THIS is the biggest fight in the UFC right now.  Can Stipe Miocic become the first Heavyweight champion to defend his world title 3 times or will there be a new king come Sunday morning?  Amazing that the champ is the bookmakers underdog when he's on such a win streak.  That's because it's not everyday he faces Francis Ngannou! *Please leave a review on iTunes http://apple.co/2wi...

The fight game is unforgiving, just ask James Degale, Carl Frampton or Michael Bisping.

This weekend we have a history making fight in New York but are the fans bothered? The event is in the smaller Theater at MSG rather than the Garden which tells you all you need to know but there's no denying the two fighters credentials.
