Stipe Miocic did what all Cleveland professional teams have failed to do since the early 1960’s, bring home a title.
After capturing UFC gold Stipe recorded this message for the Cavaliers basketball team.
Hey @cavs–
A message from the champ. ?????@NBA #AllforCLE #Believeland #FightForTheLand #UFC198 pic.twitter.com/LB3r7YJTXS— UFC (@ufc) May 15, 2016
The Cavaliers decided it’d be great to have Miocic front and center as their VIP guest for the Eastern Conference Finals and beyond.
TMZ.com had the details:
TMZ Sports spoke with the Cavs who told us … they saw the video of Stipe encouraging the Cavs to follow his lead and win the championship — and they LOVED IT!
In fact, we’re told the team reached out and invited him as their guest for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight at the Quicken Loans Arena.
Miocic accepted — obviously — and we’re told the team plans to honor tonight him for making Cleveland proud.
This’ll be Cleveland’s greatest sports year of all-time if LeBron brings them gold just a month after Miocic gave them a heavyweight champion.
