Former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic, a veteran in this game, has outclassed some of the biggest names in the promotion. Hence, many fight fans often refer to him as one of the greatest heavyweight fighters in UFC history.

In a recent video posted by the fighter online, (The Terminator) Arnold Schwarzenegger praised Miocic for the legacy he has built in the MMA world.

“With all I can tell you, I love watching your fights. Oh man, you have been so fantastic. For years.. with the big punches. Unbelievable. You’re so good. So targeted…. I was always in awe,” said the Hollywood superstar.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has been around UFC events for a long time and is a big fan of the sport. Schwarzenegger also hosted the Slap Fighting Championship with the YouTuber and boxer, Logan Paul.

Stipe Miocic, who has had one of the most successful runs in the UFC’s heavyweight division, still holds the record for most wins in heavyweight title fights. He also broke the record for the most consecutive wins in UFC heavyweight title fights after he beat Francis Ngannou at UFC 220. However, he has been away from the octagon for almost a year now.

What’s next for Stipe Miocic?

Given how things stand at heavyweight, he could be next. However, because of Ngannou’s injury, potential bouts against Jon Jones and Tai Tuivasa might be more likely to take place before this.

Jon Jones, one of the greatest light heavyweight fighters in the world, could make his heavyweight bow this year.
