Stipe Miocic angry he’s not getting automatic rematch with Francis Ngannou, teases interest in ONE Championship

Stipe Miocic believes he should be fighting Francis Ngannou next and he’s not happy about waiting for a trilogy with the series tied between them at one win a piece.

The former UFC heavyweight champion expressed his frustrations in an Instagram post made by ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong asking about who he should sign next to the Asian based promotion. In response, Miocic dropped a number of the “thinking face” emojis, which of course resulted in a flurry of responses.

When one fan mused about Miocic getting the winner of Ngannou’s next fight, which will presumably come against the winner of the upcoming interim title bout between Ciryl Gane and Derrick Lewis, the Ohio native explained why he’s angry about that scenario.
