All five of those victories have come by finish, including consecutive first-round knockout wins over Shawn Jordan and Dave Herman.
Meanwhile, Miocic opened his career with nine straight wins to open his career before suffering a September 2012 loss to Stefan Struve. He’s since rebounded with an impressive decision win over Roy Nelson at June’s UFC 161 event.
