UFC 203 “Miocic vs. Overeem” was loaded with terrific action, a few slick submissions and some highlight-reel knockouts on Saturday at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. As always, the violence inside the Octagon was accompanied by the musical tastes of the fighters who authored it.
Heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic opted to go with Machine Gun Kelly’s “Till I Die” ahead of his title defense against Alistair Overeem in the main event, and it served him well. Considering how he overcame an early knockdown from the Dutch kickboxer and then knocked him cold with ground-and-pound, Miocic has designs on keeping the UFC gold for a long time, perhaps until he dies.
