Stipe Miocic traveled to then-UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum's native Brazil, so as to face the latter for the title of the baddest man on the planet.

The Croatian-American firefighter Miocic shocked the world by pulling off what's regarded by many as one of the most shocking KO wins of all time. Miocic caught Werdum with a beautiful counter right hand, while moving backwards!

Delivering power in one's punch while back-pedaling is considered to be a tough task to execute in the boxing realm, however, in his fight against Werdum, Miocic did so with relative ease.

The fight saw Miocic keep Werdum at boxing range, and either circle away or close the distance when the latter threatened with kicks. Eventually, his boxing-heavy approach appeared to have flustered Werdum who rushed into range in a straight line.

Both fighters fighting out of the orthodox stance, Miocic circled to the right--away from Werdum's power hand--side-stepping and timing Werdum with a picture-perfect right hand. The Brazilian legend was out cold, and a few rather unnecessary follow-up shots later Miocic was the new UFC Heavyweight Champion.
