The pair will collide at UFC 241 this August.<\/p>\n<p>The first time the two fighters met, Cormier won by first-round knockout, ending Miocic&#8217;s reign as the most dominant champion in UFC history. Since then, Cormier has fought once, defeating Derrick Lewis by submission. Miocic has not competed since, adamant instead that he deserved an immediate rematch with Cormier on the basis of his accomplishments as the former champ.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Cormier isn&#8217;t sure that was the right approach. In fact, he thinks that by holding out for an immediate rematch, Miocic was acting entitled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did not like the approach he took,\u201d Cormier said of Miocic on Ariel Helwani&#8217;s MMA Show this week (transcript via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmanews.com\/daniel-cormier-off-put-by-entitled-miocic-and-stupid-critics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MMA News<\/a>). \u201cI just think he\u2019s so good, even if he\u2019d fought over the course of the year, he still would be in this same position. So I don\u2019t feel I have to be nice to him anymore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole time I said he was a bit entitled. These are conversations we had with the company. He was just as happy as I was. So to make it seem like I was doing something wrong after I was the one that won the fight, I just felt like it was unfair. \u2026 I\u2019m not wronging this guy. I\u2019m doing exactly what we were told to do after our first fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Daniel Cormier initially preferred the idea of a lucrative money fight with Brock Lesnar to an immediate do-over with Stipe Miocic, he&#8217;s always maintained that he was willing to give the former champion a rematch just as soon as we was recovered from his recent back surgery. So, for who claimed he claim he was ducking Miocic, he ha a message:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou guys are so stupid,\u201d he said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t physically do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 5\/9\/2019. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Brock Lesnar&#8217;s UFC return reportedly off the table, UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier is now booked to defend his title against the very man he won it from, Stipe Miocic.
