UFC 203 went down live on pay-per-view (PPV) this past Sunday (September 10, 2016), and saw UFC heavyweight king Stipe Miocic successfully defend his division throne by downing challenger Alistair Overeem in the first round of their heavy-hitting bout.
The UFC’s 135-pound division was shaken up a bit too, when up-and-coming bantamweight prospect Jimmie Rivera downed longtime title-challenger Urijah Faber via unanimous decision in their clash as well.
