Hrvatsko-američki MMA borac Stipe Miočić, vratio se u rodni Cleveland nakon osvajanja naslova UFC svjetskog prvaka u teškoj kategoriji, gdje je dočekan kao pravi sportski heroj, ovacijama navijača i velikim poštovanjem svih ljubitelja sporta u tom gradu.

Miočić, dijete hrvatskih iseljenika, posjetio je trening MLB momčadi Indiansa, a bio je i gost na NBA utakmici Cavaliersa, u prvom susretu finala Istočne konferencije i uvjerljivoj pobjedi LeBrona i ekipe nad Torontom.

We made it back to the land! First, I want to thank everyone that supported me! You have no idea what that means to me! Words can’t express how I feel… From the moment I got off the plane and the United flight crew and fans were waiting at the gate to the people at the baggage claim… then going to Strongstyle and seeing my mom, family, friends and teammates cheering for me ( I did cry a lot )hahaha..This has been an amazing journey- but we are not done yet! We are just scratching the surface! I love you all and thank you for having my back! Also, a big shout out to THE LAND, for everyone I didn’t see and had my back you are amazing!!!! I have one thing to say CLEVELAND AGAINST THE WORLD BABY!!!! The curse is done!!!! #ANDNEW #clevelandagainsttheworld #theland #clevelandtough

She never gave up on me and pushed me when my back was against the wall!… She has been my rock and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you!!!! So happy I get to marry my best-friend! I love you @ryanmarie05 your my champion!!!!!
