Daniel Cormier vs. Stipe Miocic Fight Rematch Reportedly Set for Aug. 17

Daniel Cormier is set to face Stipe Miocic once again in a rematch of their 2018 heavyweight title fight.

According to Brett Okamoto of ESPN, the fighters are "in the process of finalizing the bout," which will reportedly take place on Aug. 17 in Anaheim, California.

These two battled last July with a bout that featured a lot of hype but ended in a hurry. Cormier earned a first-round knockout in four minutes and 33 seconds to win the heavyweight title.

Miocic, who entered with a six-match winning streak and had successfully defended his belt three previous times, hasn't competed in a UFC bout since.

Cormier took on Derrick Lewis and earned a second-round win by submission to remain the champion.

Outside of Jon Jones, the 40-year-old has been flawless during his MMA career and has struggled to find real competition over the past few years. Fans, and UFC President Dana White, were calling for a potential bout against Brock Lesnar, but it never came to fruition.

"He told me he's done, he's retired," White said of Lesnar, per Okamoto and Ariel Helwani of ESPN.

They turned their attention to Miocic, who is looking forward to a second chance against Cormier.

"I'm ready," Miocic said. "I've been ready. And I'm going to take back what's mine."

Although an event has not yet been announced, this will likely headline an upcoming pay-per-view lineup.
