Former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic has responded to the heartbreaking news of the passing of Jim Brown, the first African-American UFC commentator and esteemed Pro Football Hall of Famer. Miocic's reaction to this significant loss reflects the deep impact that Brown had on the sports world.

The former champ's heartfelt message referred to Brown as a true "sports legend," emphasizing the profound impact Brown had on the world of athletics:
"A hero, a sports legend, and more importantly one of the best human beings I’ve ever known. You did so much for this city and the sport. May you rest in peace my friend."
