Stipe Miocic has slowly emerged as a true contender within the UFC’s heavyweight division. His vicious stoppage of Mark Hunt during UFC Fight Night 65 on Saturday is perhaps his most important victory since joining the Zuffa brand.
With this win, Miocic may be on the short list of men who will challenge winner of the Cain Velasquez vs. Fabricio Werdum bout at June’s UFC 188 in Mexico.
With that in mind, these bout suggestions will help keep Miocic ranked in the top five of the division.
