With No Weight Cut to Consider, Daniel Cormier Feels Stronger Heading Into UFC 226

UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier is looking forward to becoming a two-division world champion when he faces heavyweight kinh Stipe Miocic at UFC 226, which takes place on July 7 during the promotion’s International Fight Week.

After UFC president Dana White expressed to the media that a superfight between "DC" and Stipe Miocic would be one that a lot of people would like to see, both fighters accepted the offer to face each other. Both champions also agreed to become coaches on “The Ultimate Fighter 26” and have been much respectful towards each other during the season.
