Morning Report: Alistair Overeem 'flabbergasted' Stipe Miocic KO'd Fabricio Werdum so 'easily'

Fabricio Werdum wasn't the only one caught off guard by Stipe Miocic's right hook.

This past weekend, Miocic surprised quite a few doubters by going into Brazil and knocking out the defending champion Werdum in his own backyard. Heading into the fight some were beginning to argue for Werdum as the greatest heavyweight in MMA history and most expected that were Miocic to win it would have to be by decision. Needless to say that notion was very wrong. Miocic knocked Werdum out cold with a short right hook while backing up, shocking the MMA world including his potential future foe, Alistair Overeem.
