The wait paid off for Stipe Miocic.
After spending almost a year on the sidelines and refusing to fight anyone but the reigning heavyweight champion, Miocic finally got his long-awaited rematch with Daniel Cormier, who he will challenge at the upcoming UFC 241 pay-per-view in August.
Cormier, who seized heavyweight gold when he knocked Miocic out at UFC 226, was originally expected to defend his title against WWE superstar Brock Lesnar but the bout fell through after it was revealed that Lesnar couldn’t reach a deal with the premiere fight promotion.
Cormier isn’t exactly over the moon to be fighting Miocic again, and ‘DC’ has called the part-time firefighter ‘entitled’.
