The city of Curitiba, capital of the state of Paraná, received UFC 198, an event with one of the best artisans of the year.
Stipe Miocic knocked out Fabricio Werdum and robbed him of the heavyweight title: Werdum began the match by throwing messy punches, while Miocic fell back looking for the counter.
With just over 2 minutes to go to the end of the first round, a right-wing cross from the challenger landed directly on the Brazilian’s jaw and knocked him out of action.
Stipe Miocic adds his third consecutive victory in the UFC and is the new heavyweight champion. Your first defense could be against Alistair Overeem, the winner of the Velasquez-Browne match, or Werdum himself. (Courtesy of Elcomercio.com).
