Daniel Cormier became a two-division champion after defeating heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 226 last July.
After months and months of waiting for a chance to take his belt back from Daniel Cormier, his manager called him and gave him the good news: the rematch was on.
“No joke, for two weeks I’m like, ‘This is weird,’” Miocic told UFC.com. “It just didn’t seem right. Then it finally hit, and I was like, ‘God, finally. Damn.’ I was so excited because everyone was texting me so excited. I was excited too, but it still didn’t hit me.”
It’s clear there’s no love lost between the two, but other than topics related to Cormier, Miocic seemed relatively relaxed as UFC 241 inches closer. When it comes time to walk to the Octagon, he joked he’ll be more worried about whether or not he left his oven on, but since the waiting is over, all that’s left is the fight.
