“The champ decides it’s time to fight”- Daniel Cormier
“I’m just waiting on the champ. 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. I understand Stipe is a first responder. He’s a fireman, but he’s also a heavyweight champion of the world. And the heavyweight champion of the world needs to fight. I’ve got to get in great physical shape and I’ve got to be ready to stay the course for 25 minutes. I’ve got to do everything right if I’m going to beat this guy. He is the longest-reigning heavyweight champion for a reason, and I need to respect him in that way. I need to make necessary adjustments to get my hand raised.” Said Cormier as reported by MMA writer Justin Barrasso of si.com
Miocic also hinted fans that he’s set to return, essentially confirming that the bout will take place very soon. This is probably Cormier’s last fight. The legend has cemented his place among the greats of the sport and will look for one last swansong before he hangs up his gloves.
