“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.
