  The belt, first held by Ken Shamrock in 1995, gave way to the current heavyweight title at UFC 12, when Superfight champ Dan Severn lost to UFC 11 tournament winner Mark Coleman.

• Stipe Miocic plans on keeping the UFC heavyweight title for awhile

  15-05-2016 18:00
  
  You don't have to tell Stipe Miocic that fighters don't tend to have the phrase "reigning UFC heavyweight champion" next to their name for long periods of time.
  Miocic himself demonstrated why on Saturday night in Curitiba, Brazil, when he knocked out Fabricio Werdum to take the title. All it takes is one punch by a large man wearing four-ounce gloves and a fighter's best-laid plans get changed in a hurry.

  There's no telling what's next for the UFC heavyweight division's crown after UFC 198.

  That uncertainty, coupled with what he sees as his record of achievement, is why Werdum believes the next course of action for the new champ would be to grant an immediate rematch.
