There will be two styles of fighting at work in the co-main events of UFC 220. Expect a tactical bout as Daniel Cormier defends his light-heavyweight title against top-rated contender Volkan Oezdemir. But the haymakers will fly and the distance is unlikely to be reached in the heavyweight title fight between champion Stipe Miocic and No. 1 contender Francis Ngannou. Between them, they average nearly nine significant strikes per minute.
