Best UFC 5 Fighters For Beginners
Stipe Miocic
Fighting Style: Boxer
Out of the 20 fighters who’ve become the UFC heavyweight champion at some point, most found it tough to keep the title and defend it successfully. Even famous fighters like Randy Couture and Cain Velasquez could only defend the title a couple of times before losing it.
That’s why Stipe Miocic stands out as the best heavyweight in UFC history. He held the title twice between 2016 and 2021 and successfully defended it four times, a record. He’s mainly a boxer and excels in accuracy, dodging punches, speed, and power. He also moves well on his feet and is good at stopping takedowns. He was a skilled wrestler in college, so he can hold his own in grappling situations, and he’s solid on the ground.
Miocic has great stamina, and he can take hits to his head, body, and legs without going down easily. He recovers quickly from damage. His quick jabs to the head and body can really hurt his opponents, and he’s fantastic at putting together boxing combinations.
