20. The Heavyweight GOAT
“Stipe Miocic literally walks into burning buildings and puts out fires,” @MMAHistoryToday wrote. “He doesn’t do it because he needs to. He does it because he enjoys it.” In short, Miocic is a unique human being. The former two-time UFC heavyweight champion only began fighting as a sideline. His main profession was working as a member of Cleveland’s fire department.

Even when he became a successful champion he continued working as a first responder. As a result, Miocic has seen some crazy things. This only enhanced his winning mindset because he understands how tenuous life really is. Miocic’s four UFC heavyweight title defenses were record-setting and he was also an incredibly effective fighter. Comedian Joey Diaz referred to his ‘immigrant mentality’ and this is absolutely correct.
