LAS VEGAS – Stipe Miocic says the UFC recently informed him he will be the next man up for a crack at the UFC heavyweight title after Saturday’s title fight.
One day before Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane fight for the vacant championship in the UFC 285 headliner at T-Mobile Arena, Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) revealed on former opponent Daniel Cormier’s YouTube channel that will fight the winner during International Fight Week in July.
“I was told that, so we’ll see,” Miocic reaffirmed at a news conference held Friday. “Hopefully, nothing is permanent until it’s written a contract with a signature, but we’ll see.”
