The Reem is coming…

Newly crowned UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic, unlike Matt Brown, had a fantastic weekend in Brazil. Facing Fabricio Werdum for the title in the main event of UFC 198, the quiet Croatian finally got the chance at title glory he’d been working so hard for, and he grabbed the bull by the horns. In front of 45,000 fans in the packed out Brazilian arena, Miocic put away ‘Vai Cavalo’ with a slick one punch knockout as the hometown favorite rushed in during an exchange in round one.

Yet another champion fallen and a newly appointed boss in the frame, the UFC 198 main event was everything it promised to be, leaving the heavyweight division wide open after the lengthy and uneventful reign of Werdum. Taking nothing away from the Brazilian though, he got to the top with some impressive wins, but with Miocic’s victory comes the welcome winds of change at 265 pounds.

So what’s next for Stipe Miocic? There are plenty of viable options that can be considered for his first title defense, and the former champion himself even put his name in the hat after UFC 198. With only a few hours removed from his main event title loss, ‘Vai Cavalo’ claimed he wanted a rematch with Miocic at UFC 200. Considering this was his first attempted title defense, it’s highly debatable as to whether Werdum would get that second crack so soon, but stranger things have happened.

Looking ahead to a heavyweight title fight that’s highly possible would mean mentioning the dangerous striker Alistair Overeem. The former K-1, DREAM and Strikeforce heavyweight champion made a huge statement on May 8 in Rotterdam, blasting team mate and former heavyweight champ Andrei Arlovski to extend his winning streak to four straight.

Overeem’s latest message to Miocic makes clear his intentions, and begs the question; who else is there?

Nate Diaz To Conor McGregor: Get On Your Knees And Beg

UFC featherweight champion the “Notorious” Conor McGregor was set to move up in weight and challenge lightweight kingpin Rafael dos Anjos in the main event of March 5’s UFC 196.

UFC featherweight champion the “Notorious” Conor McGregor was set to move up in weight and challenge lightweight kingpin Rafael dos Anjos in the main event of March 5’s UFC 196.

A highly anticipated super fight for sure, the MMA world was let down earlier today (February 23, 2016) when it was announced that dos Anjos would be forced out of the bout due to a foot injury.

On just over a week’s notice, it’s tough to find a replacement opponent for McGregor, but the UFC is attempting to do so, and UFC president Dana White has confirmed that the “Notorious” one will remain on the card.

However, McGregor, famously dubbed as the “money fight”, is obviously a huge draw, making the task a tad bit easier.

Many UFC fighters were quick to jump at the opportunity via social media, and it appears to be a two man race between fan favorites Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and outspoken bad boy Nate Diaz, two men who both have history with McGregor.

Cerrone just fought this past weekend (February 21, 2013) at welterweight, submitting Alex Oliveira in the first round at UFC Fight Night 83. It may be tough for him to get down to 155-pounds on such short notice, but it appears as if he will be attempting to do so.

Diaz, on the other hand, was quick to take a shot at McGregor via twitter:

He’s going to have to get on his knees and beg…

— Nathan Diaz (@NateDiaz209) February 23, 2016

A close friend of the Stockton native also took to twitter to comment on the situation, claiming that an offer had been made to Diaz, but that it wasn’t enough to get him down to lightweight in the time given:

The offer isn’t even in the ballpark of what it would take to get Nate to make 155lbs on two weeks.

That being said, team Diaz is on board if McGregor were to agree to a catch weight bout:

@matt1986wilson @spencifer Not blaming Conor. I actually think he would take the fight at any weight. So, If he agrees to 165, it’s on.

Who would you like to see the Irish knockout artist scrap with in the wake of dos Anjos’ unfortunate injury?

A former DREAM and Strikeforce champion, Overeem is currently ranked No. 3 in the official UFC heavyweight rankings, sitting dangerously close to a title shot.

After losing three out of four fights between 2013 and 2014, “The Reem” has now rattled off three straight victories including two by way of stoppage.

Overeem scored a knockout over Stefan Struve in December 2014 before picking up a one-sided decision victory over Roy “Big County” Nelson last March. Most recently, the Dutch Kickboxer scored a massive TKO win over highly ranked former champion Junior “Cigano” Dos Santos.

Now back in the Octagon for the foreseeable future, “The Reem” should be in line for a huge fight in the cloudy yet ultra-exciting heavyweight division.

Who would you like to see him face off with next?
