The UFC drew the third largest crowd in its history when 45,207 fans entered Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil to catch UFC 198. And while the night went pretty well for the home country fighters, the main event didn’t go the way the Brazilian fans hoped it would. In the headlining bout, Stipe Miocic became the 15th different fighter to claim the UFC heavyweight crown when he knocked out the incumbent champion, Brazilian-born Fabricio Werdum . In the co-main event between two Brazilian fighters, Ronaldo Souza  stopped former light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort with strikes.
