Well if we're going all mystic here, I'll spin a theory...
Miocic's record in the UFC started out with a pattern of winning three fights then losing the next. By the laws of that pattern he should have lost to Overeem...but with so many people saying "he nearly did", maybe that was enough to keep it going. That means he wins the next three after that...so JDS (check), Ngannou (check), and DC. The fight after that is the danger point.
But we're talking about the guy who broke the Cleveland curse AND the UFC Heavyweight curse. Someone with enough mystic mojo to do that may be impervious to all our crystal-gazing.
