Stipe Miocic will fight Alistair Overeem at UFC 203, with the main card fights scheduled to begin at 12 noon (AEST), on Sunday 11 September (AEST).

Miocic, ESPN’s No. 1-ranked heavyweight, has 11 wins by knockout, one by submission.

The two then had a back and forth battle on the feet that went the full distance though the Brazilian landed a significant amount more strikes than the American and looked by far the dominant of the two. Pinned up against the fencing, he was unable to get out from under Gall, who smashed a right hand into Punk’s temple and then kneeled on top of him and swung both arms like a pendulum, connecting with one hard shot after another.
