I don\u2019t know why they gave it to me before they gave it to Stipe because when everyone else lost their belts, they gave them a shot to win it back. I don&#8217;t why they didn&#8217;t want to give it to Stipe unless he wanted some time off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Miocic, of course, doesn&#8217;t want &#8220;time off&#8221; as Lewis speculates. In fact, he says <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/daniel-cormier-stipe-miocic-get-heated-over-talk-of-potential-rematch\/\">he offered to fight Cormier at 230\u00a0<\/a>with almost nothing in the way of preparation.
