Miocic gets a title shot
UF president Dana White on a Stipe Miocic title shot: “Who the hell was going to say no to him? He was like a psycho. I wasn’t going to say no.”
After knocking out Andrei Arlovski in under one minute, a raging Stipe Miocic screamed repeatedly at the UFC executives seated at cageside. “ARE WE ON THE SAME PAGE NOW?!?” he shouted.
The sport is given at times to feigned emotion in order to put asses in seats, but this was as real as it gets.
It worked.
Who the hell was going to say no to him? said UFC president Dana White at the post fight press conference, as transcribed by Steven Marrocco for MMAjunkie. He was like a psycho. I wasn’t going to say no.
We are on the same page, Stipe added White to MMAjunkie.
The two shook hands on it, sealing the deal. So Stipe Miocic fights the winner of division championFabricioWerdum vs. Cain Velasquez at UFC 196 on Feb. 6 in Las Vegas.
