\u201cI don\u2019t care, it is what it is man,\u201d<\/p>\n

As I watched Stipe Miocic shrug off another question from an MMA Weekly reporter regarding his upcoming bout with number one heavyweight contender Francis Ngannou, I felt frustrated.<\/p>\n

Surely the purpose of this interview<\/a> was to give fans an insight into the fire fighter come UFC fighters frame of mind in the run up to arguably one of the most hyped heavyweight battles in MMA history?<\/p>\n

\u201cI was there so I won\u2019t get fined,\u201d Miocic later admitted when asked about his calm demeanour at the UFC’s 220 pre-fight press conference, cementing my suspicions that each UFC media appearance is fulfilled due only to its obligatory nature.<\/p>\n

While aware that not every fighter has the innate ability to command the media with the ease of FOX MMA Analyst and current light heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier, nor exude the wit and brashness of a Chael Sonnen or Conor McGregor, a certain level of engagement that goes beyond the reiteration of robotic one-dimensional responses was expected.<\/p>\n

After all the UFC is a business, a promotion from which athletes like Miocic earn an attractive living. As effectively employees of the organisation, I believed it was incumbent on the fighters to sell, either via trash or truthful talk, both themselves and their upcoming fight to the public.<\/p>\n

In response to this viewpoint, fans of the pride of Cleveland may state that no athlete should feel pressured into acting in a manner which is not a true reflection of who they are. One could justify Stipe\u2019s mere surface level engagement with the media by claiming that he is a reserved and shy character.<\/p>\n

After all, speaking to a room full of camera\u2019s that are beaming your every word across the globe is by no means an easy feat, and being understood is something which Miocic has struggled with throughout his UFC career (his most recent interview<\/a> with Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour was criticised heavily by fans for being impossible to decipher.)<\/p>\n

Taking all of the above into consideration, you can imagine my surprise when UFC\u2019S 220 Embedded series<\/a> revealed the current heavyweight Champion to be an outgoing, humorous, open, personable prankster, who for fun, repeatedly hangs up on his wife\u00a0while driving \u2013 that is, as long as fighting is not being discussed.<\/p>\n

Once faced with questions regarding an upcoming opponent, namely Ngannou, his jawline sets and the Miocic that I\u2019ve thoroughly warmed to vanishes.<\/p>\n

While many fans have labelled the Champ as stubborn, speaking<\/a> on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the 35year old may have revealed a deeper reason behind his reluctance to discuss both his fights and his opponents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was fighting I was like 9-0 and I lost to Struve\u2026I thought I was unstoppable\u2026I almost didn\u2019t want to fight anymore\u2026,\u201d He confessed to Rogan. \u201cI came back fought Roy Nelson, I had a couple more fights and then I lost to JDS\u2026when I walked into the back locker room I was like\u00a0 \u2018I\u2019m done, I don\u2019t even care anymore, I don\u2019t even care what happens\u2026 if I win or I lose I don\u2019t really care\u2026 but I\u2019m gonna go out there and give my damnedest to win\u2019\u2026I just don\u2019t care. \u201d<\/p>\n

Could the defeat referenced above, which at the time caused so much pain, be at the root of his now guarded approach? Could the deadpan responses merely be a reflection of a struggle within to refrain from becoming too emotionally invested, and not an act of defiance against the UFC brass?<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Rogan, who has called many of Miocic\u2019s fights, observed that this \u201cswitch\u201d in mindset was transparent through the \u201cdead-eyed\u201d stare down that he began to cast on his opponents. \u201cYou might be waiting in line at the f*cking car wash,\u201d He observed.<\/p>\n

Yet tellingly, despite his poker face, Stipe\u2019s reaction to his KO of the former heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum at UFC 198 revealed the significance with which he held the victory, as from atop the cage he passionately repeated \u201cI\u2019m the World Champ, I\u2019m the World Champ\u201d to both his trainers and the stunned home crowd.<\/p>\n

In fact, Stipe is often known for repeating the following in the run up to each of his title fights, giving us another glimpse into how much he values his status as Champ.<\/p>\n

“As long as I’m here, no-one’s getting that belt, I’ve worked way too hard to give it up,”<\/p>\n

In terms of refusing to engage in trash talk to hype either himself or a fight, Miocic has been outspoken in his belief that it is the UFC\u2019s responsibility to promote, not the fighters.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to promote myself\u2026\u201d He told Rogan. \u201cYou guys (the UFC) are in a promoting company, that\u2019s what you\u2019re supposed to do\u2026I think they\u2019d rather be 50\/50 with it but I don\u2019t see it that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

It should be stated that Stipe is not the only fighter who has abided by this internal code of conduct, with two-time Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre also maintaining his distance from what Miocic has termed the fight games \u2018soap opera.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me I stay natural, I stay authentic to who I am\u201d GSP said at a UFC 217 media scrum previous to his UFC 217 victory over Bisping. \u201cI\u2019m not good at trash talking\u2026if I try to do it, I\u2019d make a fool of myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an age where all parties involved in the fight game have become obsessed with what Dana White recently referred to as \u2018money fight\u2019s\u2019 (essentially fights built on back and forth verbal jabs and dollars) are fighters like Miocic, who refrain from dissing their opponents, playing an important role in maintaining the purity of the sport?<\/p>\n

Rose Namjunas, who is now set to defend her Championship belt at UFC 223 against the woman she snatched it from last November, is passionate about honouring the core values of mixed martial arts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of trash talking\u2026I\u2019m sick of all the hate and anger\u2026. martial arts is about honour and respect,\u201d She told media following her first round victory over Joanna Jedrzejczyk. \u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve said it before leading up to this fight\u2026 it\u2019s time for a new era in this sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

Love him or hate him, at the time of writing, and with undoubtedly his toughest challenge to date on the horizon in the impressive specimen that is \u2018The Predator\u2019 Francis Ngannou, Stipe Miocic is the undisputed baddest man on the planet.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, despite my opening misgivings, I\u2019m rooting for him.<\/p>\n

Perhaps this reveals more about the man than any sound -byte ever could.<\/p>\n
