At a press conference, Cormier stated that Miocic will be the best opponent he has ever faced in his career. “Stipe has proven that he can sustain his success and we have also been able to see him from day one. You watched a guy who went to war with [Joey Beltran]...Stipe went to war with him, and as he continues to fight, you see him evolve. That’s why I’m fighting him,” he explained.
Cormier believes that the fight with Stipe at UFC 226 this Saturday (07) will be the biggest challenge of his career. “This is the biggest fight of my career because I'm fighting the heavyweight champion of the world. The most successful heavyweight champion in the world. I think Stipe is great. Do I think he's the best heavyweight of all time? No. I still believe that Cain Velazquez It is, but I believe he is the most successful heavyweight champion of all time. Yes, it’s a big fight,” he said.
The light heavyweight champion admits that he has already had great comments in his UFC career, as he has fought Jones twice, was in the organization's 200th event, but believes that UFC 226 will be bigger than anything he has ever competed in.
