In Daniel Cormier’s last fight vs. Stipe Miocic, Cormier prevailed by first-round KO to become the new UFC heavyweight champion, then he and Brock Lesnar had a tense in-cage confrontation, setting the stage for a possible actual showdown in 2019.
Cormier first has to take care of business against heavy underdog Derrick Lewis at UFC 230 in Madison Square Garden, and throughout the week the double-champ has warned Lesnar not to get into the cage. Well it doesn’t look like there will be a sequel to the UFC 226 incident, as Dana White told media that the former UFC heavyweight champion won’t be in attendance.
