“I would not be goaded into fighting again after this. I’m going to ride off into the sunset.” @dc_mma told @arielhelwani his fight against Stipe Miocic on Aug. 15 will be the last of his career. https://t.co/UqFinxCjks

UFC President Dana White announced Tuesday Cormier and Miocic will battle for a third time Aug. 15, via ESPN.

Cormier had won the UFC heavyweight title from Miocic with a knockout win in 2018, but the 2019 rematch was a different story as Miocic won by fourth-round TKO to win back his belt.
