Round 5 – Surprise! Takedown attempt by Miocic, Ngannou is staying upright but he needs to separate and throw something massive. Francis has a hold of Stipe’s neck, then looks for a big strike but Miocic ducks under and the clinching continues. Herb Dean separates the clinch due to an extended period of nothing. Two minutes left and Miocic is well ahead on the scorecards. Ngannou is barely throwing anything, ditto Stipe, but Ngannou needs the knockout. Thirty ticks to go. Flying knee by Ngannou and Miocic walks through it. Miocic leans Ngannou against the fence and that’s a wrap. 50-44 Miocic.

Official result: Stipe Miocic def. Francis Ngannou by unanimous decision (50-44 x3) to remain the UFC heavyweight champion
