| Stipe Miocic and JDS run it back this weekend. |
The baddest man on the plant will leave Dallas, Texas this weekend as the undisputed UFC Heavyweight championship is up for grabs as Stipe Miocic once again meets former champ Junior 'Cigano' dos Santos in a rematch of their incredible 2014 slugfest. Two of the most feared natural strikers in Heavyweight history, Miocic and dos Santos faced eachother back in December 2014, losing a razor thin decision to 'Cigano' in a true barn burner. After his close loss to Brazil's dos Santos, Stipe recovered to stop each of his last four opponents, including Mark Hunt, Andrei Arlovski and in enemy territory in Brazil, claimed the title from fan favourite Fabrício Werdum. At UFC 203 Stipe made his first successful title defence against Alistair Overeem, despite an early first round scare, which seen Cleveland star Stipe dropped and subsequently fell into a syncing guillotine, before a ground and pound barrage rendered 'The Reem' unconscious, as the Ohio crowd entered a state of ecstasy. Regarded as one of the best natural boxers in MMA history, the former champ JDS has been in some incredible wars against the likes of Cain Velasquez, Mark Hunt and Saturday's opponent Miocic. With a punshing left uppercut and a massive over hand right, one shot from Junior could result in lights out for anyone on the planet, and with a BJJ black belt, dos Santos can more than handle himself on the canvas. It is hugely unlikely that this bout goes to the ground, with it's most likely conclusion resulting from a huge shot or a gruelling decision display. Miocic was tagged by Junior a couple of notable times in their opening bout, but with experienced gained from four successive stoppage wins and JDS' worrying inactivity since their opening bout, Miocic retains in my opinion.
Stipe Miocic via knockout.
