Stipe Miocic was not at all happy with the announcement of the duel between Daniel Cormier e Derrick Lewis, valid for the heavyweight title, to lead the UFC 230 card, which will take place in New York, on November 3rd. Through a video on social media, the former champion, who was dethroned precisely by Cormier in his last fight, made a point of highlighting that he considers himself the best fighter in the organization's heaviest division, with the right to provoke the current holder of the belt .

“I'm a much better fighter than him (Daniel Cormier). Nine out of 10 tries, I would win that fight. That was the only time (that he would win). It kills me inside because I'm a much better fighter than him. I know that, and everyone knows that. I think he knows that too,” says Stipe in the video.
Before being knocked out by Cormier at UFC 226 in July, Miocic, 36, had won six consecutive victories, including three title defenses, a record in the history of the Ultimate heavyweight category. The American-Croatian reached the top in May 2016, when he knocked out Fabricio Werdum in Brazil. Then he lined up alistair overeem, Junior Gypsy e Francis Ngannou. In the UFC since 2011, he has accumulated 12 positive results and three negative results in the organization.
