Cormier: If I can fight Velazquez every day, I will be able to defeat Miocic too

Current UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier exudes an iron confidence in his ability to defeat the strongest heavyweight of our time, Stipe Miocic. The meeting of the two will take place on July 7 in Las Vegas.

"There are no personal problems between me and Miocic. It's all about competition, it's as if I have to show that I'm the best. I am looking forward to the opportunity to test myself in a fight against this fighter. I consider him a great champion, but, as I told him personally, all good things come to an end.

"Stipe, I did not want to become the one who does this to you, but I have to, because I want to become a two time champion. It will be difficult, but I'm not the one who avoids the hard tasks. I would not take this fight, if I was not sure of my ability to defeat Miocic. I have already said that every day during the last ten years I have been training with the best heavyweight of all time. If I can go out and fight Cain Velasquez, I can also overcome Stipe Miocic in July," Cormier said.
