Daniel Cormier Champing at the Bit to Fight Stipe Miocic for a Third Time

Daniel Cormier’s next fight will be against UFC Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic.

There is no doubt that is a money fight for the UFC, but the date and venue for the fight remains uncertain.

“I’m just waiting on the champ,” said Cormier. “When the champ decides it’s time to fight, that’s when he and I are going to fight. He’s got the belt, he makes the rules.”

Cormier and Miocic have already fought twice, with Cormier winning the first and Miocic evening the score last summer. Miocic is in no hurry for round three, preferring a full training camp once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, while Cormier is eager to sign a contract for a third and decisive fight.
