Russian UFC heavyweight veteran Alexey Oleynik is planning to hold his next fight against former champion Stipe Miocic: “Everyone knows that the current heavyweight division champion Daniel Cormier took the duel with Derrick Lewis on a short notice. What options are there now for Miocic, who is upset that he wasn’t given an immediate rematch with Cormier? One of the fighters who want to test their strength in battle with Stipe is Alexey Oleynik,” said famous journalist Ariel Helwani.
“I had a conversation with his manager Abraham Kava, Alexey is ready to fight Miocic anytime and anywhere. He is ready to fight at the end of this year or the beginning of the next. Miocic’s interest in the fight is great. Now we have to find out whether Miocic will agree,” Helwani said.
