Stipe Miocic just locked down his first ever Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight title defense with a first-round knockout of Alistair Overeem at UFC 203 earlier this month. It was Miocic's fourth-straight knockout finish and a tremendous follow-up to his championship-stealing victory over Fabricio Werdum at UFC 198.
Outside of Stefan Struve and his flash of temporary punching power, Miocic has only come up short against former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos, losing to the Brazilian via five-round unanimous decision back at UFC on FOX 13. While both fighters have taken different routes in their respective careers since then, "Cigano" believes it's their destiny to meet again.
