The UFC heavyweight title stays in Cleveland. And what a fight it was.
Stipe Miocic showed an iron chin throughout the first round as Alistair Overeem landed a straight right and knocked Miocic to the ground, followed by a guillotine attempt.
But there was no way Miocic was going to lose this fight in front of his hometown of Cleveland.
Miocic quickly recovered and didn't let Overeem out of his sight, following him around the Octagon as Overeem tried to stay away from Miocic's haymakers. It didn't take long for Miocic to find his range and start landing bombs on Overeem, eventually taking him to the ground and finishing him with punches.
