Stipe Miocic is still unsure why he has doubters despite his accomplishments.
UFC heavyweight champion is slated to fight UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier in the main event of the upcoming UFC 226 pay-per-view event.
Miocic enters this fight on a six fight winning streak with four of those having the heavyweight title on the line. He has successfully defended the title over the likes of Alistair Overeem, Junior Dos Santos, and Francis Ngannou in his last three bouts.
Miocic noted during a recent media scrum that despite his accomplishment, he feels like no one is giving him a chance when he steps into the Octagon against Cormier.
“(It’s) just like every fight – I feel like everyone’s not really giving me a chance, like I’m a washed-up fighter or something like that,” Miocic told reporters at a media lunch today in Los Angeles (transcript courtesy of MMA Junkie).
“‘DC’ is an amazing fighter, of course – one of the best in both weight classes: heavyweight and light heavyweight,” Miocic said. “He’s going to go out there and try to do what he does. But unfortunately, he’s not going to get it. I’m going to walk out with the belt still wrapped around my waist.”
“There are a lot of great fighters on the roster, but yeah – it’s a superfight,” Miocic said. “(Demetrious) ‘Mighty Mouse’ (Johnson), Max (Holloway) and Brian (Ortega) … So many good champions. But right now, it’s a superfight and it’s what everyone wants to see. I’m excited, too.”
There is speculation that former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar might show up to UFC 226 to call out the winner of this main event fight.
The only issue with this grand idea is the fact that Lesnar will still have to enter the USADA drug testing pool and wait six months before he can fight. Miocic is more than willing to fight anyone after UFC 226.
“I’d fight anyone – ‘DC,’ Jon Jones, Brock Lesnar, whoever (after this). Whoever they want me to fight, I’ll fight. Right now, it’s ‘DC,’ so that’s all I’m worried about.”
UFC 226 is set to take place on Saturday, July 7, 2018, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Daniel Cormier has had an amazing career – could it be coming to a close this week?
The post Quote: Daniel Cormier Will Likely Retire With UFC 226 Loss appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
Daniel Cormier has made it no secret that he plans on ending his MMA career soon, but it may come a lot sooner than fans are expecting.
“DC” is gearing up to challenge Stipe Miocic for the UFC heavyweight title in the main event of UFC 226 on pay-per-view (PPV) this weekend (Sat. July 7, 2018). The current 205-pound champion has the opportunity to become just the second fighter in the promotion’s history to hold two titles in separate weight classes simultaneously.
Should things not pan out Cormier’s way, however, most would assume he simply drops back down to light heavyweight to defend his title. That’s not what Bellator heavyweight Chael Sonnen had to say on the matter.
In a recent edition of Beyond the Fight podcast, Sonnen suggested he believes the MMA world will have seen the last of Cormier should he fall to Miocic in Las Vegas (quotes via Bloody Elbow):
“I’m not sure we see Daniel Cormier fight again,” Sonnen said. “Interesting plot twist I just threw in there, isn’t it? So, he’s moved up to heavyweight. Let’s say he succeeds and he wins, he would then be the heavyweight champion.
“I suspect that he would relinquish 205 pounds. So, if he wins and he’s the heavyweight champion, I think that he would stick around and get that other fight in that he’s been talking about he wants, whoever that would be against.”
Sonnen also finds it hard to believe Cormier would drop back down to light heavyweight after having experienced the comfort of training for a fight at heavyweight. Aside from Jon Jones, whose UFC future is currently up-in-the-air due to issues with USADA, Sonnen doesn’t see any fights at 205 pounds that would intrigue the former Olympian:
“(There are) not a lot of compelling fights for him at 205 pounds,” Sonnen said. “That could change overnight with the insertion of Jon Jones, but I don’t think Jon’s gonna be back until next summer. That’s a year away.”
“To get to 205 pounds, you had to live a lifestyle with that goal in mind, and you gotta take your eye off the ball for seven months and go up to heavyweight, I don’t know about returning to 205. And I don’t know what the motivation would be.”
