Stipe Miocic had one of the most incredible comebacks in UFC heavyweight history.
After taking hard shots from Daniel Cormier for three full rounds in their championship bout at Saturday’s UFC 241, Miocic began attacking the body, thus switching the momentum, and then getting a stoppage deep into the fourth round. It was clear Miocic was down on the scorecards. Miocic’s incredible feat was one of the many wild things that went down at UFC 241, including Nate Diaz’s successful return, and much more.
Below is how the pros reacted to the action at UFC 241:

Congratulations Stipe— Junior Dos Santos ️➕ (@junior_cigano) August 18, 2019
Maybe it’s an individual things but complete presence of mind is required in a title fight , the question “Am I Winning “ was a tell of lack of present mind to me , Stipe just seemed more present in the fight . These are the subtle intangibles of Championship fighting .

What a fight!!! Borrachinha fought like a warrior but Yoel got this one.

It came down to round two and Yoel didn’t pull ahead until the last minute or two of the round tough call not a robbery either way at all
