They are running it back at UFC 241, as Daniel Cormier will put his heavyweight title on the line when he rematches Stipe Miocic in the main event.
The promotion officially confirmed the bout following reports that the rematch was being targeted earlier in the week. The two initially fought at UFC 226 where Cormier became a “champ-champ” when he knocked out Miocic in the first round. Since then, the former champion has been campaigning for the rematch and hasn’t fought since. Cormier, on the other hand, fought at UFC 230 where he submitted Derrick Lewis in the second round to retain his heavyweight title.
Cormier had been linked to a potential fight against Brock Lesnar, but Lesnar told Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White that he was retiring.
UFC 241 Is set to go down at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., on Aug. 17. So far, no other bouts have been reported or confirmed for the pay-per-view card.
