UFC 244 marked the promotion’s 500th live event, and the organization is marking the occasion with “an internally curated list of 500 Unforgettable Moments from UFC history.”
Scheduled to be released in seven installments, UFC Fight Pass 500 Moments shines a spotlight on some of the most memorable highlights – and lowlights – from the UFC’s 26-year run, both in and out of the cage.
UFC Fight Pass officials have committed to sharing video of a few of those key moments with MMA Junkie, as well. This time, we bring you a changing of the guard at heavyweight, when Stipe Miocic knocked out Fabricio Werdum at UFC 198 to become champion for the first time and stun the Brazilian crowd.
UFC.com’s Walker Van Wey sets the table:
Fabricio Werdum came home to Brazil to defend his heavyweight title with the crowd and dynamic fight arsenal at his disposal when he welcomed knockout artist Stipe Miocic. Miocic ended the feel-out process with a right hand that also ended the fight and the reign of Werdum in a KO that may have silenced the entire city of Curitiba.
You can watch the footage in the video above. And check out a few more memorable moments below:
