“My mindset is I’m going to smash him,” Miocic said recently. “I’m not giving up that belt. I worked too hard to get it, and I’m not letting anyone take it from me, especially beating me in Cleveland? No way.
And Miocic plans on keeping the good times rolling in Cleveland on Saturday night.
“I’m going to stop Overeem in the first round,” Miocic said. “I’m going to drop him. I know I can knock him out and he’s going to get knocked out. It’s going to happen. It’s inevitable once I touch him with my hands. He’s going to go to sleep. I’m going to walk out and we’re going to have a good time in Cleveland that night.”
Stipe is feeling himself like Werdum was before 198
