Stipe Miocic shocked the world when he defeated Fabricio Werdum to win the Heavyweight Championship at UFC 198 on May 14, 2016 and surprised even more observers when he beat MMA legend, Alistair Overeem at UFC 203 on September 10, 2016.
Displaying incredible punching power and unmatched conditioning, Miocic caused a doubting public to buy him as a very real threat and legitimate Champion.
Even so, he was still favored to lose the title to former Champion, Junior Dos Santos at UFC 211 but entered an unbelievable performance to vanquish his more famous opponent in less than three minutes, once more with punches.
Miocic then became the first man in UFC history to defend the Heavyweight crown three times when he beat Francis Ngannou. Ngannou had defeated big names, Overeem and Arlovski in his previous two bouts but could not find any way past the Champion who won every round en route to a Decision victory.
Miocic's record-breaking reign was finally ended versus reigning Light-Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Cormier.
Cormier ended Miocic's six-fight undefeated streak to lift the strap but record breaker Miocic's legacy was already assured.
