Starting off from their initial meeting at UFC 226, the duo hasn’t encountered anyone else till now, and Miocic claims it to be tiring.
While a lot of fans are emotional about Cormier’s farewell game, Miocic is glad that it’s over. In a post-fight interview with ESPN, Miocic tagged his relationship with Cormier in one of the most hilarious ways possible.
Stipe Miocic is glad to break up with Daniel Cormier, finally
UFC Heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic has witnessed one loss and two consecutive wins during his rivalry with Cormier.
Talking about it, Miocic has said, “I am happy it’s done. I am tired. It’s like that girlfriend that you are dating, you are off, you are back on again, you are off, you back on again. It’s been hard, but god bless him.”
Miocic has already garnered a number of challenges from several competitors via Twitter. However, he is yet to respond to them. After the fight, ‘The Silencer’ claims to be too weary and wants to spend some time with his family.
Yet, Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou are still awaiting a fight against Miocic. Dana White has already confirmed that Ngannou would be awarded the next title shot, considering his recent streak of dominance in the heavyweight roster.
Thus, it is just a matter of time till we see another heavyweight rematch between the gladiators.

Jon Jones also wants a piece of the heavyweight glory now. After marring his relationship with UFC administrators over pay-issues, it seems that Jon Jones has finally come to a conclusion.
Yet, he will have to wait until Ngannou gets his shot at Miocic.
Avoid Stipe’s right hand, I’m too fast, I’ll be too strong when the time is right and have way too much energy. Soon and very soon I’ll be considered the baddest man on this planet

Miocic vs Ngannou 2 Preview
Despite terrorizing the entire heavyweight roster, Francis Ngannou‘s upcoming fight against Miocic can be a rude awakening for him.
After cementing a six-fight win streak in the promotion, Ngannou faced his first defeat against Mocic in their original matchup at UFC 220.
The Predator’s phenomenal strength did not prove to be beneficial as Miocic outstruck him throughout to claim the win via decision.
Despite that, Francis Ngannou redeemed himself with back-to-back first-round knockouts. Thus, the re-match may turn out rather differently this time around.
While the heavyweight matchup is verbally confirmed, it is yet to receive an official date and venue.
