If you're ranking the greatest mixed martial artists of all time in terms of charisma, Stipe Miocic is not in your, oh, top thousand or so. If your criteria for star power includes prefight bluster or even in-cage razzle-dazzle, this UFC champion does not shine so brightly.
But if you're looking for the greatest heavyweight fighter in the sport's history, you'll find him in a firehouse in suburban Cleveland.
Well, maybe give Miocic a few days before he's back home and on the job. He spent Saturday night working in Las Vegas, securing his preeminent status among the biggest of the big guys with a unanimous decision victory over Daniel Cormier in the main event of UFC 252.
