UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic doesn’t expect himself to be out of action for much longer.
Miocic told TMZ Sports that recovery from the eye injury he suffered in his rematch with Daniel Cormier at UFC 241 is progressing well. The injury was severe enough that Miocic had to undergo surgery following the August 2019 bout.
“The eye is really good actually,” Miocic said. “It’s getting healed up, getting better every day, and I’m just getting back in the gym slowly.”
“I still have some spots, that’s still there,” he later added.
