At UFC on Fox 13, former Heavyweight champion, Junior Dos Santos took a unanimous decision victory, from Miocic, after 5 exciting rounds. Dos Santos followed the win up with a TKO loss to Alistair Overeem, but regained his form in dismantling Ben Rothwell last April. Stefan Struve had been schedule to face “Cigano” next, but withdrew, giving the UFC the opportunity to make this rematch. Since the loss to JDS, Miocic has been on fire, with 4 straight wins, all by knock out, and the last 4 in the first round. Including his championship win over Fabricio Werdum and successful title defense against Alistair Overeem.
