In July 2018 at UFC 226, Daniel Cormier knocked out Stipe Miocic in the first round to become the UFC’s second-ever concurrent two-division champion, adding the heavyweight belt to his light heavyweight gold.

However, Cormier’s moment was overshadowed by Brock Lesnar as he stole the headlines for his post-fight antics.

Miocic didn’t hold back his thoughts on Lesnar and what transpired in the cage after the fight.

“It was a sh*t show and it was disrespectful,” Miocic said. “I didn’t think that was what the UFC was all about."

Daniel Cormier has made it known that he wants to fight WWE's Universal Champion, while Lesnar’s kayfabe “manager”, Paul Heyman, is confident we will see Lesnar back in the UFC Octagon.

“As long as Daniel Cormier has the balls to step into the Octagon and put his title up against Brock Lesnar and UFC comes up with the money for Brock Lesnar, I don’t see anything that would keep Brock Lesnar from taking the fight,” Heyman told TMZ Sports.
