Daniel Cormier Rematch with Stipe Miocic Off the Table

Ever since losing the UFC heavyweight title at UFC 226, Stipe Miocic has wanted a Daniel Cormier rematch. Miocic’s latest effort to move this forward came on Monday (Feb 4) in a YouTube video discussing newfound challenges as a father and why he deserves a shot to reclaim the title.

In the video, Miocic says a rematch would show his daughter “no matter what happens in life, you get knocked down, you get up, you dust yourself off, you put your head down, and you keep moving forward.”

In a scathing response, Cormier tweeted a point-blank explanation for his refusal to fight Miocic.
