5. UFC 203 (Miocic vs Overeem)

Before the Cleveland Cavaliers finally brought a championship to the city from a team sport, Stipe Miocic became the UFC heavyweight champion.

Miocic fought then-champion Fabricio Werdum on his home turf in Brazil, so for his first title defence he got to defend the belt in his home city of Cleveland. It looked as though Overeem was going to spoil the party for Cleveland and Miocic however, as he almost finished the fight in the first round. Miocic fought back however, and ended up knocking out Overeem with some ground and pound, all of this happening inside the first round.

This event from September 10th 2016 did 475,000 buys.

Miocic will most likely next defend the belt against the winner of Cain Velasquez vs Fabricio Werdum at UFC 207.
