    This Croatian destroyer has wrestled for NCAA division 1, he has the grappling skills to avoid hurdles brought by other wrestlers and grapplers. He is a former Golden Gloves champion, so he has the boxing credentials to make a mark as a standup artist, and has a well rounded kickboxing base. Can he become a top dog in his division...:think

    Miocic is definitely a guy I'm paying attention to, he made picking Mark Hunt apart look easy.

    Yep.

    He'd give Werdum fits.

    Miocic is a real talent.... Let's just say he'd do better than Browne in boxing if he made the full time switch. :deal

    He's the present. The HW division has the most parity of any weight class in the ufc, not ONE ufc HW champ has made more than 2 title defences. They all have one or two holes in their game that make them more beatable.

    I think he's good for the sport. Now if he fights Overeem, the belt might switch again.

    Probably yes. He's a rare talent considering that he went so far while having a real job (he's a fireman) and training with some random team (no disrespect to them, it looks like they did a good job).

    I've seen his previous fights and he's constantly improving.

    I don't think so. He's a crude fighter, and anyway, since 2007, no HW defended successfully more than 2 times. Think about it. With those gloves, a light punch and you're out.
