Stipe Miocic is the current reigning, defending UFC heavyweight champion in the world. He first won the title from Fabricio Werdum at UFC 198 in May of last year with an awesome first round knockout. Miocic also successfully defended that title in his hometown of Cleveland at UFC 203 with another first round knockout of Alistair Overeem.

In the following video, we see the big, scary knockout puncher sparring in a ballerina tutu for some strange reason.

Perhaps he lost a bet or something or maybe he just like the way it feels. Who are we to judge? In all seriousness though it was probably just for a goof or perhaps he’s trying to put his personality out there a little more to help with marketing purposes.

Miocic is not the type to talk a lot of crap, which is admirable, but sadly it is often the fighters who talk the most that get the biggest pay days. Miocic has recently spoken out on the pay situation and maybe he’s trying to endear himself to more fans which is always a smart thing to do.

In the footage we see a couple nice kicks from Stipe, one being an inside leg kick which is one of his best techniques as well as a hard body kick. You also see him work that heavy straight right hand of his which he’s really found a home for in his recent fights.

Miocic is next expected to defend his title against former heavyweight champ Junior Dos Santos in a rematch at UFC 211 in May of this year.
