I find it odd how quiet Stipe has been since UFC 226 and his loss of his UFC Heavyweight Title as well as Brock Lesnar then calling Miocic a POS to add insult to injury. Stipe seems like he just doesn't care. In fact, on his way to The Octagon that night he didn't look like he cared much about the fight soon to take place. He seemed very nonchalant on his walk to the cage.
Maybe I've missed some comments he has made to the press since losing the title. Has he said anything at all about losing the belt, about getting repeatedly poked in the eyes in that fight, or about Brock Lesnar calling him POS? Has Miocic advocated for himself regarding the eye gouging he received or what he was called by Lesnar or does he just not seem to care that rather than at least getting an immediate rematch because of the eye gouging, instead the first title defense Cormier will make will be against the man who called Miocic a POS and wasn't even in The UFC's top 10 rankings at the time of UFC 226?
