Stipe Miocic retains heavyweight title with TKO win over Alistair Overeem

Jessica Andrade takes on Joanne Calderwood in a women’s strawweight (115 pounds) bout. Ranked sixth and seventh respectively, this fight should be the flawless way to kick of the UFC 203 main card.

The fighters went back and forth and hurt each other but the champion found an opening late in the round and did not relent. I like what he represents.

“I know I’m better than I was last fight and I keep getting better every day. This is not a sport to be a baby”.

Jimmie Rivera won the bantamweight bout with Urijah Faber by unanimous decision. There’s a chance the title he worked all his career for could only be with him for one fight.

Punk has been on the receiving end of some heavy criticism, but the former WWE superstar is looking to win on his UFC debut, “I’m coming in to win. But, honestly, all I care about is when I walk into the octagon, what I’m going to do to that guy”. We’re going to get that championship belt. “If you think anything but that, it doesn’t matter how hard you’ve trained because you’ve already lost”.

Here are the complete UFC 203 results. Everybody will be rooting for him. Browne is very good on his feet but Werdum has a better all-round game and more weapons in his locker.

The fight also marked the fourth time in a row Miocic has won by knockout and now he adds Overeem’s name to his growing list of victims in the UFC.

“I enjoy all energy”, Overeem said. I’m supremely disappointed but the answer to your question (what would he change about his process) is aside from the outcome I wouldn’t change anything for the world. “I nearly feel a little bit sad that I’m going to be taking something away from them, but I will be taking that something away this Saturday”.

CLEVELAND Stipe Miocic climbed to the top of the octagon and threw his legs over its sides, straddling the cage like he was riding a horse. With the UFC Heavyweight Championship online the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Miocic, the current reigning champ.

So who came out on top?

But as many expected, including MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani, Gall had no problem dismantling Punk from the get go.

In the co-main event, meanwhile, number one contender and erstwhile UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio “Vai Cavalo” Werdum bounced back from a previous loss with a unanimous decision win over number six challenger Travis “Hapa” Browne just as former professional wrestler CM Punk failed in his first try at mixed martial arts.
