Francis Ngannou took the UFC heavyweight strap beating Stipe Miocic with a savage knockout at UFC 260.
The Cameroonian-French fighter faced Miocic for the second time after losing his title fight to the American at UFC 220 by unanimous decision.
Ngannou felled his opponent with a savage left but Miocic found his feet before the 34-year-old found the American's throat with another blow and Herb Dean called time on the fight.
After clinching the title, Ngannou said: "I feel great man. It's been three years that I have been living without it, I always thought that I could have it three years ago, so tonight there wasn't a place for mistakes.
The win paves the way for a potential showdown with either Derrick Lewis or Jon Jones moving up the weight with both a possibility according to UFC President Dana White.
