Daniel Cormier: If Brock Lesnar can’t fight, I’ll fight Stipe Miocic again

Daniel Cormier wants to make it clear that he has no problem giving Stipe Miocic an immediate heavyweight championship rematch, even if it isn’t his first choice for his next bout.

Following Saturday’s UFC 227 show in Los Angeles that saw long-reigning flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson dethroned by Henry Cejudo in the co-main event, Cormier and broadcast partners Jon Anik and Joe Rogan discussed whether Johnson should get an immediate rematch, given that he holds the record for the most consecutive successful title defenses in UFC history at 11 — a streak that was snapped by Cejudo.
