Current UFC Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic hasnât stepped inside the octagon since UFC 203, where he successfully defended the gold against AęŚlistair Overeem.
Miocic is currently unhappy wđ§¸ith the UFC after he âdiscovered Overeem was paid more for the fight than he was. Miocic knocked Overeem out on the show.
â[Itâs] terrible,â Miocic said on . âThings definitely need to be changed. Somethingâs gotta change. Itâs not really fair. I just felt like I was kinda crapped on a little bit. I try to do things right and work with them, and they just didnât give me a great deal. Thatâs my own fault, but also they knew what they were doing. They took my kindness for weakness. They told me it was the best deal they could do, and I said, oh okay, great. And then come to find out, it wasnât.â
Miocic has spoken to the UFđC in an attempt to mend the feđnces, but the champion wasnât satisfied with the response he received.
âBlah, blah, blah, blah. They just made up some excuse, like thatâs the contract you signed,â Miocic said. âYouâre making money off me in my hometown, and youâre giving the man thatâs a challenger whoâs never won the title in the UFC, youâre giving him more money? It definitely should change. But the fact that my challenger made more money than me in my last fight was just kind of a slap in the face.â
Miocic doesnâđ´t have a fight announced yet, but he previously spoke about defenđ§ding his belt at the UFC Fight Night event this March in London.
