EA Sports UFC Roster: 15 Most Shocking Fighter Omissions
10. Stipe Miocic
Stipe will headline The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3 against Fabio Maldonado this Saturday, who replaced Junior dos Santos at very short notice. The fact that the UFC even matched Stipe against JDS is a testament to how tough he is a heavyweight as Junior is second only to the champ, Cain Velasquez, and is still vastly superior to the rest of the division. In a weight class dominated by big power and little technique, Stipe Miocic is an incredibly talented boxer who also has extremely good cardio for the division. The Croatian showcased these skills in an impressive win against Roy Big Country Nelson at UFC 161, where he was able to keep the power puncher on the edge of his range and outbox him en route to a clear-cut unanimous decision victory. As mentioned in the Brendan Schaub entry, the games developers were hardly spoilt for choice with regards to which heavyweights to include this makes it all the more scandalous that one of the more talented names in the division is a no-show on their UFC title.
