Stipe Miocic’s victory at UFC 211 was not enough to impress rising prospect Francis Ngannou.
Miocic successfully completed his second heavyweight title defense, stopping former champion Junior dos Santos in the first round of their main event bout at UFC 211. Miocic’s victory didn’t only avenge his 2014 loss to dos Santos, but also allowed him to tie the record for most consecutive heavyweight title defenses in the promotion.
“That was a good performance, but I was not impressed, I need more than that,” Ngannou told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. “I would say I’m more impressed with someone like [Cain] Velasquez. I think Velasquez is the best heavyweight that we have, and that’s why I want to fight him.”
