Now that he's taken the heavyweight title from Fabricio Werdum and completed his victory lap around his native city of Cleveland, it's back to work for Stipe Miocic. Or, technically, it's get married first — then back to work.
Miocic got a hero's welcome upon returning back to Ohio after knocking out Werdum at UFC 198, and has since learned that he'll make his first title defense against Alistair Overeem at UFC 203 right there on his home turf. It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks for Miocic, hitting home runs with the Cleveland Indians, sitting court-side for the NBA Finals bound Cavaliers, and partaking in the parade the city put on for him.
