Morning Report: Dana White speaks on the heavyweight division after UFC 252, says Francis Ngannou is ‘next in line’

This weekend, Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier will do battle one last time to determine not only the heavyweight champion of the world but also the greatest UFC heavyweight of all time. And though that fight is far from a foregone conclusion, what does appear to be set in stone is the next heavyweight title fight after this one: Stipe Miocic vs. Francis Ngannou II.

In the lead up to UFC 252, Daniel Cormier has made it clear that this will be his final professional fight, meaning that if ‘DC’ wins the title, he will end up exiting the sport on top and vacating the belt.
