DC confirmed to Helwani that he plans on entering the Octagon one final time and will take on Stipe Miocic for the title.
Cormier reiterated that win or lose, his next fight against Miocic will be the last time we see the future UFC Hall of Famer compete inside the cage.
Cormier’s wife Selena had a big role to play in his decision to fight again as she didn’t want his career to end on a loss to Miocic.
The backstory
Daniel Cormier lost the UFC Heavyweight title to Stipe Miocic at UFC 241 after he was knocked out in the fourth round of the fight.
This was the second time that the two heavyweights faced each other, with Cormier winning their first outing via knockout at UFC 226.
Cormier’s fight at 241 was expected to be his swan song but the taste of defeat has certainly reignited a fire in DC’s belly.
When will Daniel Cormier vs. Stipe Miocic III happen?
Cormier is targeting a possible return at UFC 245 which is scheduled to take place on December 14th, 2019 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The 245 card is already being headlined by a Women’s Bantamweight title fight between Amanda Nunes and Germaine de Randamie. A title doubleheader sounds like a great way to end the year and it does look like Dana White and co. may actually go down that route. That is, of course, if Miocic accepts the proposal.
