Junior dos Santos: Cormier-Miocic rematch ‘doesn’t make any sense’, DC got ‘lucky’ in first fight

After Stipe Miocic avenged his knockout loss to Daniel Cormier to reclaim the heavyweight title at UFC 241, fans are clamouring to see a trilogy bout between the two pound-for-pound greats.

But, according to former divisional king Junior dos Santos, a rematch between Miocic and Cormier ‘doesn’t make any sense’ due to the nature of their first title bout at UFC 226, where ‘DC’ KO’d Miocic in the first round of the main event to capture the heavyweight title.

Dos Santos is adamant that Cormier landed a ‘lucky’ punch against Miocic and, therefore, isn’t deserving of a third fight with the newly-crowned champ.
