CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) –
Cleveland is home to more than one champion. Before the Cavs won the title, Stipe Miocic got the “title town” ball rolling.
Now, he is getting ready to defend his belt in front of his home town fans in a Sept. 10 fight at The Q.
Miocic, a reigning UFC Heavyweight champ, is deceptively strong and a force to be reckoned with. He is driven, relentless and fueled by a fierce competitive nature and a primal instinct. He says once he’s in the octagon, he’s focused on the knock out.
“I think it’s just a switch. I got another man in front of me. I don’t want him to knock my lights out,” he said.
His coach, Marcus Marinelli, says it’s the only sport where they lock you in a cage and the whole idea is to hurt the other person.
