Stipe Miocic: Mom would ‘destroy’ me, wife would ‘kill’ me if I did what Conor McGregor did

Stipe Miocic has always been one to behave and there are two important people who he knows will keep him in line.

The UFC heavyweight champion visited the ESPN studios on Tuesday ahead of his upcoming title defense against light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier at UFC 226 on July 7 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and he covered a number of topics including Conor McGregor’s recent rampage in Brooklyn.

Miocic was asked for his thoughts on his fellow UFC titleholder’s shocking attack on a bus at the Barclays Center on April 5 that resulted in injuries to fighters Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg, and “The Notorious” facing charges of assault and criminal mischief.
