Even when he was champion, heavyweight knockout artist Stipe Miocic felt he was undervalued by the UFC. And now, after losing the belt to reigning light heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier, the part-time firefighter feels more disrespected than ever after being snubbed of an immediate rematch with ‘DC’.
Miocic has put the UFC on blast for pitting Cormier against WWE superstar Brock Lesnar and for promoting a WWE-like rivalry between the two heavyweights. Shortly after Miocic was knocked out by Cormier at UFC 226, Lesnar stormed the cage and went on a tirade about the rest of the heavyweights, calling Miocic a piece of ‘sh-t’ and almost pushing Cormier to the other side of the Octagon.
