Stipe Miocic altered the course of history with one swing of his sledgehammer.
The Strong Style Fight Team cornerstone punched out Fabricio Werdum and captured the undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight title in the first round of their UFC 198 headliner on May 14, 2016 at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil. Miocic drew the curtain 2:47 into Round 1, an eerie hush enveloping the 40,000-plus fans in attendance as their unconscious compatriot lay at the feet of the new champion.
The two men traded punches and kicks before Werdum made his move—and his mistake.
