UFC Heavyweight Champ and Ohio Native Stipe Miocic Leads Cavs' Victory Parade

You know, by Stipe Miocic.

Just weeks before LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers delivered the city its first major sports title since 1964, Cleveland-area native Miocic upset Fabricio Werdum to capture the UFC Heavyweight Championship.

On Wednesday, the heavyweight champ joined the new NBA champs during the Cavs' celebratory parade through downtown Cleveland.

And not only did he take part, he led the dang thing.
