UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic didn’t need to go five full rounds against Junior dos Santos this time. The rematch at UFC 211 in Dallas on Saturday night lasted just 2:22 in the first round, with the current champion Miocic successfully defending his title via an emphatic TKO.
Miocic not only avenged his last loss in the UFC, but he pocketed an extra $50,000 in the process. Miocic was awarded a Performance of the Night bonus for his quick work of Dos Santos, which tied him for the most successful heavyweight title defenses in UFC history.
