Oh man, what a fight this is going to be. I'm talking about Stipe Miocic defending his UFC Heavyweight title against Daniel Cormier, the current UFC Light Heavyweight champion. This is definitely a super-fight and it's a shame that one of them is going to lose this fight.
Stipe Miocic
First, we have Stipe who has climbed and kicked his way to become the champion. At one point, he was the challenger for the belt and he lost. Two years fter losing his 2014 fight with Junior Dos Santos, he came back to win the title. He's been on a tear every since then.
Stipe has defeated Andrei Arloviski, Mark Hunt, Fabricio Werdum, Alistair Overeem, Junior Dos Santos and Francis Ngannou. With the exception of Ngannou, he finished each of those fights via TKO or KO.
It's safe to say Stipe is an animal and has defeated the best of the best. I'd even go as far to say he has made it look easy.
Daniel Cormier
And then we have Daniel Cormier. Daniel has only been defeated once in his 22 fights, with his defeat being against Jon Jones. He did lost the second fight with Jones, but the decision was overturn.
Daniel is another fighter who has worked extremely hard to become the light heavyweight champion. Time and time again he has destroyed fighter after fighter. And now he will meet his match.
Who Will Win
This is a tough one, but I'm going to say Stipe Miocic will take this fight. He will end up winning via KO or TKO. I have no idea what round it will be in, but I'm confident he is taking this fight.

DC .. first round KO/TKO ..
That's definitely possible. Cormier is a beast in his own right! So hard to want one or the other to win though because they both are in a league of their own lol
I too think Stipe will win but can see it going all 5 rounds. It's a good fight with some other good fights on the card however I am gutted to be missing out on Holloway and Ortega fighting.
Yea, easily could go five rounds. Don't forget though, Stipe took out Junior Dos Santos in the very first round. I don't think I ever recall anyone doing that lol. Either way, it's going to be an awesome fight!
