Stipe Miocic last competed in the UFC at the UFC 260 event against Francis Ngannou. Miocic lost that fight after being knocked out in the second round. Francis Ngannou became the latest UFC Heavyweight champion and Stipe Miocic hasn’t competed since then.
Many fans and critics thought that Miocic’s smaller body frame ,compared to Ngannou, was one reason he lost. ‘The Predator’ seemed to be towering over Miocic during their last fight. However now Miocic seems to be getting ready to take back the UFC title by bulking up himself.
Recently, Miocic took to Instagram to share a picture of him in which he seems much bulkier than before. Miocic posted the picture with a quote from Chinese author Deng Ming-Dao. It read, “Some Warriors look fierce but are mild. Some seem timid but are vicious. Look beyond appearances; position yourself for the advantage.”
