Stipe Miocic Successfully Defends Title
4 years agoStipe Miocic took the trilogy bout with Daniel Cormier to the limit Saturday night, winning by unanimous decision. Statistically, Miocic landed 171 total strikes, with 115 of those being listed as significant strikes. His attempts to get the bout to the ground when he wanted to were unsuccessful, going 0-for-6 on his takedown attempts. With the win, Miocic can arguably make the claim as the greatest heavyweight to ever compete in the UFC. What's next for Miocic is not clear at this point, but it's possible a rematch with Francis N'Gannou could be on the horizon. The two met in January of 2018, with Miocic taking the decision.
