#4 Daniel Cormier vs. Stipe Miocic
Then-UFC Light-Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier moved back up to Heavyweight, in order to face Stipe Miocic who at the time held the UFC Heavyweight Title. These formidable, well-rounded Mixed Martial Arts combatants squared off at UFC 226 in July of 2018; in a fight that barely lasted a round.
Cormier was briefly taken down by his larger foe, but quickly resumed the action on the feet, following which both fighters dinged one another with a few decent strikes from long range. Most of the close range exchanges in this brief bout took place in the clinch -- as 'DC' gave up the under-hook to Miocic, which the latter gladly accepted.

Cormier then caught his foe with a well-placed overhand right to the chin, and put the latter to sleep with a few follow-up ground strikes -- making DC the new UFC Heavyweight Champion of the world. Now, this fight took place at Heavyweight, and in the division of giants, chaos is the norm rather than the exception.
While Cormier has stated that he'd like to fight Jon Jones for the third time, then Brock Lesnar, and then retire -- the Miocic rematch is also something DC could take before the latter rides off into the sunset. Fans can expect a potential DC-Miocic rematch to take place later this year.
