The allure of heavyweight fighting is that the hardest hitters can deliver fireworks at any moment.
And few heavyweight fights delivered whirlwind action like Stipe Miocic's UFC heavyweight title defense against Alistair Overeem on Saturday night in Cleveland.
Defending the title at Quicken Loans Arena in his hometown of Cleveland, Miocic got out of several hairy situations before delivering a memorable knockout of Overeem to retain his title. The time of the finish in one of the most exciting one-round fights you'll ever see was 4:27 of the opening round.
"I train that s**t every day," said Miocic (16-2), who has won seven of his past eight fights.
