Stipe Miocic - Daniel Cormier: the main fight of the evening

This fight will be the end of the trilogy. Naturally, the heavyweight champion belt is at stake. UFC President Dana White humbly adds that it will be August 16 that the greatest heavyweight in the organization's history will be determined. It is rather difficult to argue with this statement.

Bet Now!

Stipe Miocic

Stipe suffered only three defeats in his career, while winning 19 victories. The fighter has an incredibly powerful punch, thanks to which he knocked out his rivals 14 times. In July 2018, Miocic interrupted his six-win streak and lost to Cormier in the opening round.

The American drew conclusions and already the next meeting with Daniel had a much better quality and already "knocked out" the opponent in the fourth round. Miocic moves very well in the cage and has excellent cardio, so he is able to go the entire distance, but always aims to end the fight early. We emphasize that it is important for Stipe to go through the opponent's starting onslaught and survive all the blows in order to make Daniel run out of breath and then start working on his own.

Daniel Cormier

Daniel has been at the top of the UFC for a long time and had a streak of seven wins before his second meeting with Miocic. Note that after the victory over Stipe, Cormier managed to hold another fight against Derrick Lewis, in which he proved to be stronger and won by rear naked choke. Perhaps, the long break affected, because DC did not appear in the cage for almost a year and, quite possibly, was not in optimal shape.

Cormier is used to going forward from the first seconds and trying to immediately knock out his counterpart, but if this cannot be done, then he starts to run out of steam closer to the championship rounds and misses punches. By the way, the American suffered only two defeats during his career.
