Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic commented on the fact that he was not even offered to fight for the belt of the interim champion of the organization.
“I understand that this is how the UFC works, that it's just a business. But I think I deserve to be asked first to complete the trilogy with Ngannou. I wasn’t even asked when they had a fight for the interim title. I don’t know whether I would agree or not, but it was worth at least offering me such a fight. In general, I'm used to it, this is how this business works. It is what it is. But at the same time, I understand that I deserve a third fight with Ngannou. Everyone had something besides me," Miocic said.
The interim UFC heavyweight champion is Ciryl Gane, who took the belt from Derrick Lewis.Â
