Francis Ngannou says Daniel Cormier a tougher matchup than Stipe Miocic

Francis Ngannou might be hoping for a rematch with Stipe Miocic over former UFC two-division champ Daniel Cormier, as ‘The Predator’ believes ‘DC’ could be the tougher matchup for him.

Speaking to BJPenn.com in a recent interview, Ngannou said he would be much more confident facing Miocic again rather than challenging Cormier for the UFC heavyweight title.

“Honestly, I am more confident in a rematch against Stipe than I am to fight Cormier,” I think Cormier is a bigger challenge for me than Stipe. I’ve been in there with Stipe and he couldn’t finish me.
