Stipe Miocic will get next heavyweight title shot after UFC 195 win
Esther Lin, MMA FightingIf the MMA world wanted Stipe Miocic to be more vocal, it got exactly that on Saturday night.
Miocic tore through former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski in just 54 seconds at UFC 195, then called for his title shot in a fiery post-fight rant, demanding to know whether he and UFC president Dana White were now "on the same page."
While the outburst was uncharacteristic for the affable giant, it got the job done. Miocic was announced at UFC 195's post-fight press conference as the No. 1 contender for the UFC heavyweight title.
"Who the hell was going to say no to him?" White said. "He was like a psycho. I wasn't going to say no. ‘Are we on the same page now?!'
