Miocic: Cormier is a great fighter, but I'm on a different level

UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic shared his opinion about his nearest rival Daniel Cormier and discussed the current situation in his division.

"Cormier is a great fighter, he beat many heavyweights and light heavyweights, but never met with me. I'm at a different level. I am very glad that our fight will happen, the fans are waiting for an excellent fight. It's nice that people say that I can become the best heavyweight in history, but I do not think about it right now. I'm completely focused on the next fight, which will be on July 7. All this is great, but I'll think about it later.

"Now we have a lot of good fighters in the division: Volkov, Blades, Lewis returns to former positions, Nganou is also a tough guy. In our weight category there are a lot of dangerous guys, so it will be very interesting to watch its further development," Miocic said in an interview to Combat.
