UFC 203 – Sept. 10, 2016
In Stipe Miocic’s first title defense, he brutally knocked out Alistair Overeem.

UFC 279 – Sept. 10, 2022
It has been three years since the absolute madness that was UFC 279 fight week, where three PPV fights got shifted around because Khamzat Chimaev missed weight for his fight with Nate Diaz — and in the end, Diaz ended up tapping Tony Ferguson in a fun but sloppy fight.
Chimaev also blew through Kevin Holland.
