Stipe Miocic

Stipe Miocic holds a professional record of 20-5-0 and competes as an orthodox heavyweight at 6'4" and 240 pounds. The Cleveland native operates as a volume striker with solid fundamentals, averaging 4.67 strikes landed per minute at 52% accuracy while maintaining 52% striking defense against 4.01 absorbed strikes per minute.

Miocic's grappling remains a secondary tool, averaging 1.74 takedowns per 15 minutes at 34% accuracy with a respectable 65% takedown defense. Recent performance shows mixed results: he secured a first-round knockout of Alistair Overeem in September 2016 and a dominant first-round finish of Junior Dos Santos in May 2017, but suffered a third-round knockout loss to Jon Jones in November 2024 and an earlier second-round TKO defeat to Stefan Struve in September 2012.

Miocic's record from recent fights stands at 6-2 over his last eight contests, demonstrating resilience despite recent setbacks against elite-level competition. His technical striking and cardio sustainability have defined his career, though he faces an uphill climb returning to title contention at heavyweight.
