'Nice shirt' - The wholesome moment Francis Ngannou didn't know how to handle a Stipe Miocic compliment

Francis Ngannou will make his second bid for the UFC heavyweight title against champion Stipe Miocic in the main event of UFC 260. Ngannou lost his first title shot against Miocic via decision at UFC 220.

In a press conference following the fight, Stipe Miocic was seen complimenting Francis Ngannou's shirt. The Predator, however, was overwhelmed at the gesture and looked lost for words. Ngannou stared, almost in disbelief, as Miocic emphasized -

"Nice shirt. No seriously, looks good man. It’s a nice shirt seriously."

Francis Ngannou was surprised by Miocic's cordial nature and offered to pick a shirt for him if he needed a change in the future. Expressing his desire for a rematch, Francis Ngannou replied -

"I mean. Yes, I agree but…I mean I am just wondering how are you, like…so nice? Next time, if you want to change shirt, let me pick someone to you. I mean before our next fight because I have my revenge against you. It was a good fight by the way."

Francis Ngannou has gone on a spectacular four-fight win streak since losing the UFC 220 headliner against Stipe Miocic. Ngannou has made a name as one of the scariest punchers in the sport, having shut the lights out on his last four opponents within 71 seconds.

Stipe Miocic, meanwhile, will look to build on his legacy as the greatest heavyweight of all time, after back-to-back victories against former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier.
