Brock Lesnar apparently isn’t making another UFC return, so Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic are going to run it back.
According to a report from ESPN on Tuesday, Cormier and Miocic have verbally agreed to a rematch at a UFC pay-per-view event in Anaheim, Calif., on Aug. 17. Cormier defeated Miocic via first-round knockout at UFC 226 last July to briefly become a two-division champion. After the bout, Lesnar confronted Cormier in the Octagon, which appeared to set the stage for a future matchup between the two.
Those plans, according to UFC President Dana White, have changed.
