With the lion’s share of the pre and post-UFC 309 coverage focused on the status of Jon Jones, very little fanfare was afforded to former heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic.
To the credit of the often underappreciated UFC production team, a farewell package was in place to roll after Miocic’s final fight – but the former champ understandably declined his time in the spotlight after falling to Jones at Madison Square Garden.
For those who’ve been following Miocic’s career, this should’ve come as little surprise given the Ohio native’s shortness with words and general attitude toward the limelight.
However, despite that fact, I thought it would be fitting to celebrate Miocic and his memorable accomplishments inside the UFC octagon.
Not only does Miocic hold the record for most title defenses in UFC history (both consecutive and overall), but the man is also the record holder for the most knockouts in UFC heavyweight title fights.
So, without further ado, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and rank every finish in Mioicic’s illustrious UFC career.
