Miocic was FOTY last year. Not McGregor, not Nunes. The UFC are criminal if they don't give this guy a raise. Knocking out Arlovski, Werdum, and Overeem in the same year and all in the 1st rd is mighty impressive.
This ^^^^ Stipe is an awesome fighter that basically lets his fists do his talking. A lot of people like that instead of the loud and brash bs.
The reality is though the US fans are not going to get behind a guy named "Stipe Miocic" or "Khabib Nurmagomedov". You can't market them because people in the US literally can't remember their names. I am sorry but these fighters need to realize they are in the entertainment business so you can't ignore marketing 101 and then ***** you are not getting paid. Look at "Alistair Overeem"..you can't come up with a better stage name than that if you tried. It is just luck that it is his birth name. If his name was Darvon Erdamondenovik-something he is not making **** in the US.
