UFC 211 post-event facts: Joanna Jedrzejczyk just set a bunch of records


Stipe Miocic is the fifth fighter to tie the UFC heavyweight title-defense record after he defeated Junior Dos Santos in Saturday’s UFC 211 main event.

After taking a few hard leg kicks, Miocic (17-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) wasted no time putting away Dos Santos (18-5 MMA, 12-4 UFC) when he landed a huge right hand to stop the fight at the 2:22 mark of Round 1. It marked his second defense of the belt, matching the record shared by Randy Couture, Tim Sylvia, Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez.

The UFC’s fourth pay-per-view event at American Airlines Center in Dallas provided several notable results outside of the headliner. It included historic work from strawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC), who reached some new milestones, in the co-main event.
