On Saturday, at UFC 211, UFC Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic successfully defended his title against former UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos.
Miocic took less than one round to knock out the former champion. In the first round, Miocic ate vicious short leg kicks from Dos Santos that quickly cause swelling to his leg. Despite the hurt leg, Miocic pushed forward and dropped Dos Santos and finished the fight by TKO.
