Werdum was in attendance at TD Garden in Boston, where champ Stipe Miocic (18-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) dominated heavy-hitter Francis Ngannou en route to a clear unanimous decision win in UFC 220’s headliner. It was the record-breaking third defense of a title that Miocic captured from Werdum (23-7-1 MMA, 11-4 UFC) in 2016. Werdum has been trying to get himself back in title contention since.
