Miocic scored this thrilling win in front of his hometown in Cleveland, Ohio.&nbsp;This impressive defeat of Overeem was proceeded by a thunderous, first-round knockout of Fabricio Werdum, which earned him the heavyweight strap.&nbsp;His third most recent victory, finally, occurred in January of 2016, when he clobbered former heavyweight champ Andrei Arlovski to a first-round knockout. With these latest wins, he extended his overall record to 16-2.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, it is not known who will provide Miocic&#8217;s next challenge. For a time, it looked as though his next challenger would be produced by a December Fabricio Werdum vs. Cain Velasquez rematch.
