Daniel Cormier fires back at Stipe Miocic: I think I knocked him ‘silly’ at UFC 226

Is a rivalry brewing between Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic?

Yesterday, former UFC heavyweight champion Miocic reacted to the news that ‘DC’ would be defending his heavyweight title against top contender Derrick Lewis at UFC 230, and he didn’t take it well.

Miocic, a part-time firefighter from Independence, Ohio, posted footage from an interview where he claimed that he would beat Cormier 9 times out of 10. Despite being knocked out in the first round at UFC 226, Miocic is adamant that he is the better fighter and is campaigning hard for a championship rematch.
