Media Daniel Cormier expects Stipe Miocic trilogy in June, but timeline tricky

[Locke]

“There’s no time for us to fight until maybe June,” Cormier told MMA Junkie. “The way the UFC quarterly schedule is looking, the UFC essentially, with them announcing Tony (Ferguson) and Khabib (Nurmagomedov) for April, there’s really no time. We’re going to be waiting a little bit.”

Cormier vía whatever he wants. But Heavyweight is Heavyweight so wouldn’t be surprised if Stipe got a random KO.

So......eye pokes? <45>

 

[VinceArch]

1st fight in July, 2nd fight in August and 3rd in June. Sure, why not?

 

[BjPenn2017]

Probably could've happened sooner if he didn't intentionally try to gouge Stipes eyes out

 

[SpiderCrawl]

Yay let’s hold up the HW division for 6 months...

Damn still got some salty Stipe fans out there.

 

[Misanthropist]

What’s with announcing fights half a year later? It’s ridiculous, not like Cormier and Stipe has a broken leg.

Should be 2-3 months minimum.

 

[JabToucher]

Why does he get another shot at Stipe? He fought so stupidly the second time when he could have won via more grappling in under three rounds imo.

DC made a mistake fighting stipe in the rematch, he should have retired or fought someone else

Stipe has proven to have more resistance,has a higher fighting IQ and is stronger.

Miocic surpassed DC in strength,combat intelligence, and resistance.

DC almost died to keep a big man like Stipe on the floor.

Miocic is not Dan Handerson, he is a heavy monster, DC has no strength for Spam Wrestling with Stipe.

Ngannou rn:

I hope they are throwing him A LOT of cash for fighting Volkov in Paris.

 

[empsim]

Fuck it, Francis is cleaning out the top 10 and is by far the scariest guy in the division.

Just get it over with so they can both retire and lets make HW great again.

 

[Coolkid666]

If DC loses he'll cry again and they will book it the 4th time. Can't retire on a loss!

i love to see DC cry like a baby.

"Salty"? I am not sure if you watched the fight but DC was KTFO. Stipe worked through all the eye pokes this time and required surgery to repair damage from the eye pokes. DC doesnt deserve a rematch because of all the cheating and crying (not to mention his terrible commentary .

 

[svmr_db]

They should book an interim HW belt, Ngannou vs Volkov or Rozenstruik. Makes sense with the belt being on the shelf for nearly 10 months between defenses.
