Stipe Miocic is the subject of a new special that debuts today on FS1, and the UFC heavyweight champion discusses his other career.

“In the Clinch with Stipe Miocic” debuts at 9:30 p.m. ET (6:30 p.m. PT), and replays of the half-hour special air throughout the remainder of the week on FS1 and FS2.

The special focuses on Miocic’s emergence as the world’s best heavyweight MMA fighter – while also holding down his job as a firefighter and EMT.

“I love being a fireman,” Miocic tells host and fellow UFC champ Daniel Cormier during the special. “I wanted to give back, (by) being a policeman, fireman, Coast Guard or something like that. I didn’t know how fighting was going to turn out, so here we are. It’s my way of giving back, and I love helping people.

Miocic also discusses the heavyweight title, recently headlining in his native Cleveland, and his career goals during “In the Clinch.”

Check out a preview of the special above.

Miocic (17-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC), the No. 1 fighter in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA heavyweight rankings (and No. 5 pound-for-pound), currently awaits his next fight booking. Since winning the belt with a victory over Fabricio Werdum in 2016, he’s defended the belt against Alistair Overeem and Junior Dos Santos. All of the victories have come via knockout.
