Stipe Miocic: Daily Routine

Heavyweight champ by day, firefighter by night—Stipe Miocic’s routine is all about balance, endurance, and humble discipline.

For most UFC champions, when they win a world title, they go out partying. Just ask Conor McGregor what he got up to in Vegas after unifying the featherweight champion in 2015. Actually, never mind, what happens in Vegas and all that.

For reigning heavyweight champion and part-time firefighter, Stipe Miocic, after he knocked out Fabrício Werdum in front of 45,000 stunned Brazillians, the first thing he did was scrub the toilets at his fire station.

“That’s the big one,” said Jamie Meklemburg, Miocic’s friend and fellow firefighter. “We make sure that his first shift after his fights, he knows we’re going to have him clean the toilets. He’s tried to avoid it, but we save that for him.”
