Alistair Overeem has won titles in almost every organisation he's competed in, but has still to capture the elusive UFC heavyweight title.

Their bout tops the bill in Cleveland, with former UFC heavyweight champ Fabricio Werdum taking on Travis Browne in the co-main event.

And the event also sees the eagerly-awaited debut of former WWE superstar Phil Brooks, better known to the world as CM Punk. He takes on Mickey Gall, a welterweight prospect discovered by UFC president Dana White and former welterweight champ Matt Serra on their show Looking For A Fight.

It promises to be another dramatic night of fights in Cleveland as Miocic returns to his home state to put his newly-won title on the line, and an electric atmosphere is guaranteed inside the Quicken Loans Arena - home to the NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers.
