Aug. 17, 2019 will go down in history as one of the best days of Stipe Miocic’s life.
The Cleveland, Ohio native reclaimed the heavyweight title this past Saturday night with a comeback knockout against Daniel Cormier in the main event at UFC 241 from Anaheim, Calif.
Following a rough start to the fight, Miocic made a vital adjustment going into the fourth round where he began digging to Cormier’s body with a series of punches that eventually paid off. Once Cormier winced in pain from the body shots, Miocic saw the opening to go back over the top and target the head, which then led to the jaw-dropping knockout that led to his re-coronation as a two-time UFC champion.
