On Tuesday, the UFC heavyweight champion chose to respond via Twitter to Stipe Miocic’s recent claim that Cormier “owes” him a rematch. The two fought at UFC 226 last July and Cormier won by first-round knockout to add Miocic’s heavyweight belt to a mantle that already included the UFC light heavyweight title. Miocic has been holding out for a rematch since, while Cormier went on to successfully defend the heavyweight title against Derrick Lewis at UFC 230.
Cormier has also made it no secret that he is holding out for a potentially lucrative matchup with WWE star and former UFC champion Brock Lesnar.
