The, in the immediate fallout of this fight, we learned that Cormier&#8217;s first defense as heavyweight champion would likely pit him against former champion and WWE superstar Brock Lesnar.<\/p>\n<p>This turn of events has not gone over well with Stipe Miocic. Miocic, who defended the heavyweight title three consecutive times \u2014 more than any previous heavyweight champ \u2014 feels he deserves an immediate rematch with Cormier.<\/p>\n<p>The former champion has repeatedly called for this immediate rematch, while simultaneously criticizing Lesnar&#8217;s title shot.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufcunfiltered.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UFC Unfiltered<\/a> podcast this week, UFC President Dana White addressed Miocic&#8217;s calls for a title shot. He assures that, contrary to Miocic&#8217;s comments, he&#8217;s got nothing but respect for the former champion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know why Stipe always feels like we\u2019re disrespecting him, which we\u2019re not,\u201d White said (transcript via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmaweekly.com\/dana-white-committed-to-brock-lesnar-not-stipe-miocic-getting-next-title-shot?utm_source=dlvr.it&amp;utm_medium=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAWeekly<\/a>). \u201cWe have a lot of respect for Stipe. I think he feels like it took him a very long time to get his title shot and he felt like it took longer than it should have. Every time I turn around, he feels disrespected. He\u2019s anything but disrespected. Complete opposite. I don\u2019t know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>White also added that, had Miocic retained the heavyweight title at UFC 226, he&#8217;d be looking forward to a huge payday opposite Brock Lesnar himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously you saw that we set up the fight with Cormier to fight Brock,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That would have been Stipe, if Stipe won the fight. It\u2019s no disrespect to Stipe, it\u2019s just something that was in place before that fight even happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Stipe Miocic deserves an immediate rematch with Daniel Cormier?
