Stipe Miocic

Stipe Miocic is the Cleveland firefighter who is widely regarded as the greatest heavyweight in UFC history. He knocked out Fabrício Werdum in Brazil in 2016 to win the title and set the record for consecutive heavyweight defences, beating Alistair Overeem, Junior dos Santos and Francis Ngannou.

Daniel Cormier knocked him out in 2018, but Miocic won the rematch and the rubber match to regain the belt. He retired in 2024 after losing to Jon Jones. CagePotato covered his early career and title rise.
