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.

Miocic recovered and after trapping Overeem against the fence, he eventually took Overeem down to the canvas and knocked him unconscious with a series of right-hand blows to retain his UFC heavyweight title in front of an ecstatic crowd.
Quicken Loans Arena is already home to one king – LeBron James.
Overeem is supremely confident but isn’t underestimating Miocic, a man he called a risky fighter who is champion for a reason. Just like Eye, Dollaway could really use a victory to help him climb back up the rankings of the light heavyweight division as he’s lost his last three fights.
Several other fighters were issued indefinite suspensions for various reasons.
The Ohio State Athletic Commission has released the payroll figures that were reported by the UFC, and according to the numbers, Punk made $500,000 for his first MMA fight.
The fight will go down in Cleveland on September 10 in the Quicken Loans Arena.
The Stipe who is fighting Saturday night on Pay-Per-View, the champ said, is the best version to date. “But, honestly, all I care about is when I walk into the octagon, what I’m going to do to that guy”.
Stipe Miocic was the biggest recipient of the night, as he earned a $40,000 check from Reebok after knocking out Alistair Overeem in the very first round (see it again here).
However, as Overeem attempted to throw a right leg kick, Miocic checked it and sent the challenger to the mat.
Overeem earned his title shot with four straight wins going back to 2014, including two TKO finishes against former heavyweight champs in Junior dos Santor and Andrei Arlovkski. Could he avoid embarrassing himself with just one fight camp?
Overeem nearly ruined things for Miocic when he knocked him on his butt and attempted to end the fight.
