Browne is overall a good fighter, but he doesn’t really excel in any field, his performance has been inconsistent and in general Werdum is simply the better fighter, interesting rematch nonetheless. It was a career moment for the OH native, who was forced to win the title inside the unfriendly confines of Curitiba, Brazil, against Fabricio Werdum at UFC 198. He put me on my ass, I felt fine. Miocic is able to get out and return to his feet.

The early prelims start at 6:30 p.m. EST and the main card, Stipe vs. Alistair, is set for 10 p.m. I’m a boxer, wrestler, but I train that sh*t every day.
Miocic may have done his city proud, but he was unfortunately the only OH fighter to come away with a victory. “I hate to travel but I love going away and doing my thing”.
The champ would go on to land a number of big shots, which stunned Overeem and literally had him running around the cage.
Entering tonight’s event, Miocic boasts a 15-2-0 record.
Overeem fell back into his guard after grabbing onto Miocic’s neck and head, but the OH native was eventually able to work free and a few moments later he had earned the victory with a barrage of punches on the ground. Miocic has knockout power in both hands and Overeem is one of the most deadly pound-for-pound strikers in the history of combat sports. After defeating Andrei Arlovski in January at UFC 195, the 34-year-old fighter returned to the ring to trounce Fabricio Werdum at UFC 198. Overeem (41-14) is one of the most decorated heavyweights in MMA history, a former K-1 and Strikeforce champion, but he is looking to win his first UFC title. Meanwhile, in the co-main event, top-ranked Heavyweight contenders, Fabricio Werdum (No. 1) and Travis Browne (No. 7) will trade leather once again, with the victor likely earning a future 265-pound title shot against the main event victor or an eliminator match against Cain Velasquez.

Punk almost got free, but Gall regained a dominant position and squeezed his opponent’s head like he wanted to snap it off.
