UFC 198 will be just the second time that the undisputed UFC Heavyweight Championship has been defended since October 19, 2013.
Fabricio Werdum, formerly the interim champion, unified the belts by defeating Cain Velasquez last June, but the belt has been on the shelf ever since. This Saturday, a new challenger arrives on the scene.
Stipe Miocic, Steven Rondina of Bleacher Report's No. 3-ranked heavyweight, gets his shot at gold.
Miocic earned his title shot with back-to-back knockout performances over Mark Hunt and Andrei Arlovski. The Ohioan will travel to Curitiba, Brazil, this weekend to try to bring a championship back to Cleveland before LeBron James can.
Striker vs. Grappler is the matchup, but what does the complete breakdown look like? That is what we are here to do as UFC 198 is just around the corner. Let's get primed for Werdum vs. Miocic.
