Junior dos Santos says Stipe Miocic trilogy fight would be ‘very welcome’ after UFC Boise win

It sounds like Junior dos Santos has one name on the top of his wishlist when it comes to his next fight.

The former UFC heavyweight champion said after his UFC Boise main event win over Blagoy Ivanov on Saturday night that he has his eye on an old foe: Stipe Miocic. But “Cigano” told interviewer Jimmy Smith in the Octagon afterward that he didn’t know what would happen.

“I’m not sure, but a rematch with Miocic would be very welcome,” dos Santos said.

The two heavyweight stars have a long history.
