One of the few men to ever beat Stipe Miocic in MMA, Junior dos Santos thinks the heavyweight champion will successfully defend his title at Saturday’s superfight against 205-pound kingpin Daniel Cormier.
Unbeaten as a heavyweight, Cormier decided to move back up after nine light heavyweight bouts to try to become champion in two weight classes simultaneously. Miocic, on the other hand, has already made history by defending his UFC crown a record three consecutive times.
“Cigano”, a former heavyweight champion who went 1-1 against Miocic and 1-2 against Cormier’s main training partner Cain Velasquez inside the Octagon, picks Miocic to win despite picturing some complicated scenarios in Las Vegas.
