UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic won the title in enemy territory against Fabricio Werdum, now he gets to defend his belt in his home state of Ohio. Miocic will take on Alistair Overeem in the UFC 203 main event at the Quickens Loan Arena in Cleveland, as Overeem seeks to fully turn his UFC career around from disappointment to championship success.
The co-main event was supposed to be Werdum against Ben Rothwell, but Rothwell is hurt, so in steps Travis Browne for a rematch of a fight he soundly lost two years ago. CM Punk makes his MMA debut against Mickey Gall, Urijah Faber takes on Jimmie Rivera in Faber’s first fight after his latest loss to Dominick Cruz, and strawweights Jessica Andrade and Joanne Calderwood kick off the PPV main card.
