Morning Report: Daniel Cormier on potential Francis Ngannou fight: ‘It’s not a fight that I would have much hesitation in taking’

With UFC 239 and International Fight Week now in the books, all the eyes in the MMA world turn to the rest of the summer fight schedule, and the biggest fight on the horizon is the rematch between Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic for the heavyweight title at UFC 241. Cormier, of course, was supposed to face Brock Lesnar but when Lesnar retired from MMA, that put a hitch in his giddy up so now he’s rematching Miocic. And though the fight is less lucrative than a Lesnar bout, Cormier says it does have its own benefits, especially since this may be Cormier’s final fight before retiring himself.
