UFC 241 Aftermath: The UFC finally has a true heavyweight rivalry again (if they can convince Daniel Cormier to stick around)

Last night at UFC 241, Stipe Miocic won the UFC heavyweight title, stopping Daniel Cormier with punches in the fourth round. It was a triumphant moment for Miocic who had insisted for a year that his first fight with Cormier was a fluke and that he would reclaim the title if given a chance. But more than that it was a triumphant moment for the UFC. Had Cormier won the fight, the general feeling was that he’d probably retire, or possibly take a third fight with Jon Jones. But a loss sets up a trilogy fight between the two best heavyweights in the world.
