Stipe Miocic News

Tom Taylor - September 7, 2016

This weekend, in the main event of UFC 203, Stipe Miocic will attempt to defend his UFC heavyweight title against decorated striker Alistair Overeem. Though Miocic is favored to win this fight, which will occur in his home town of Cleveland, Ohio, his victory is certainly not a foregone conclusion. Despite the scale of this looming challenge, the heavyweight king has already given some thought to possible future opponents. Though the next heavyweight title shot is likely to go to former champion Cain Velasquez, the new champion says he’s most interested in avenging the last blemish on his record: a decision loss to Junior Dos Santos. The two heavyweights engaged in a tooth-and-nail battle back in 2014.
