Stipe Miocic stunned 45,000 Brazilian fans in Curitiba as he knocked out Fabricio Werdum in the first round to claim the heavyweight title at UFC 198. Miocic (15-2), an Ohio firefighter, used his superior boxing skills to devastating effect, tagging Werdum as he charged forward, before finishing him with strikes on the ground just 2 minutes and 47 seconds into their heavyweight championship fight.Werdum, who won the title by upsetting Cain Velasquez in Mexico last June, started patiently as he targeted Miocic with leg kicks and sought an opening for a takedown so he could utilise his superior his jiu-jitsu. But his patience quickly evaporated in front of his vocal home support and he attempted to charge Miocic while winging punches.Miocic, a former amateur boxer, expertly circled away from the attack and unleashed a short, crisp right hand which crumpled Werdum to the canvas. Referee Dan Miragliotta stepped in almost immediately to call an end to the bout.Celebrating in front of a disappointed sell-out crowd at Arena da Baixada, Miocic shouted: Cleveland, this is for you!Honestly, Fabricio is tough. He had me guessing. We trained hard, man. I have a good right hand. Thank God. He caught me off-guard a little. I wasnt opening up like I wanted to. Hes got good jiu-jitsu. I was worried about the takedown.Werdum, who hadnt lost since re-joining the UFC in 2012, promised to come back stronger after just the second knockout loss of his nearly 14-year career.Werdum said: I have to admit that he was better than me. But I will do all I can to come back and be champion again.In the co-main event, Ronaldo Jacare Souza made the biggest statement of his UFC career by finishing compatriot Vitor Belfort (25-12) via first-round TKO.The stoppage came at the 4:38 mark, after Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Souza took Belfort down, moved into mount and hammered him with elbows and punches.It was a dominant display by Souza, who out-landed Belfort in total strikes by 51 to 4, according to Fightmetric.The win puts Souza in pole position for a middleweight title shot against the winner of champion Luke Rockhold and Chris Weidman, who meet for the belt at UFC 199.I deserve the title shot, Souza said through an interpreter. I think I earned it and I deserved this fight.
