UFC's Heavyweight division has always been an unpredictable one.

When guys of this magnitude are throwing bombs at each other or attempting to snap each other's limbs, anyone has the capacity to beat anybody on any given night.

This is clearly evidenced in the record for most consecutive defences of the UFC's Heavyweight title currently being set at just three.

So, its only right that the holder of that record should now find himself in the thick of this list celebrating the UFC's Fighters of the Decade.

Stipe Miocic is deservedly regarded as one of the greatest Heavyweights in MMA history and his impressive collection of big-name victories he's amassed - since his UFC debut in 2011 - definitely reinforces that claim.

Roy Nelson, Gabriel Gonzaga, Mark Hunt, Andrei Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum, Alistair Overeem, Junior dos Santos, Francis Ngannou and Daniel Cormier have all fell to the former Golden Gloves boxing champion during this decade and as we enter 2020 he can still be found carrying the Heavyweight gold over his shoulder.

No Heavyweight has even come close to establishing the same standard of legacy as Miocic has inside of the UFC and if he does eventually decide to call it quits during the 2020s he can still hold his head high as the greatest Heavyweight of this decade.
