As it stands today, there has never been a Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight champion who has defended the title more than twice. It remains one of the more interesting streaks in mixed martial arts (MMA).
Currently slated to defend his Heavyweight strap for the first time later tonight (Sat., May 14, 2016) at UFC 198 live on pay-per-view (PPV) from Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil, champion Fabricio Werdum will begin his journey to attempt to end the divisional curse. His opponent, Stipe Miocic, will do everything in his power to prevent that from happening.
