After UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier and heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic both retained their championships on Saturday night at the TD Garden in Boston, UFC president Dana White brought up the idea of them facing each other next.
The idea is hardly a stretch. Cormier was an undefeated heavyweight who struggles to make 205. He really only moved to 205 because his AKA teammate, Cain Velasquez, was champion at the time and Cormier noted he would never challenge him. Plus, Cormier had a quest to face Jon Jones due to a snub by Jones years earlier, and since Jones was considered the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world.
