Borilački svijet ostao je impresioniran izvedbom Stipe Miočića i nokautom u prvoj rundi protiv Juniora do Santosa, kojim je obranio naslov UFC prvaka u teškoj kategoriji. Miočić je pobjedom izjednačio rekord po broju uzastopnih obrana naslova prvaka (2), te će u idućoj borbi imati priliku samostalno zasjesti na tron. Dosada su osim njega još čak petorica boraca dva puta osvajala naslov prvaka u teškoj kategoriji, ali nikad nitko nije uspio tri puta zaredom slaviti.

Na Twitteru se oglasio i kamerunski Francuz Francis NGannou, neporaženi teškaš u UFC-u, koji smatra da mu naš Stipe nije ravan. NGannou je, uz Caina Velazqueza, Fabricija Werduma i Alistaira Overeema, također jedan od kandidata
