Negotiations for a UFC heavyweight championship trilogy bout are coming together nicely, according to Daniel Cormier.
Cormier discussed the status of a third meeting with reigning heavyweight king Stipe Miocic during an Instagram Live video on Friday. “DC” has been awaiting the matchup as Miocic recovers from eye surgery following their second meeting at UFC 241, which the Ohio-based fighter won via fourth-round TKO.
“Look, I know we’re in a crazy time right now with the world and with the way things are and it’s very up in the air but I think for me with the way things are going and the discussions that we had heading into the fight, into all this, the way that the discussions in terms of the fight were going, where I am going to fight this guy for my last fight, it’s going to be as ideal for me as I could ever hope for,” Cormier said.
