We know now that the next UFC heavyweight title fight is official.
Champion Daniel Cormier (22-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) will fight former champ Stipe Miocic (18-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) in a rematch at UFC 241, which is set for Aug. 17 at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
The rematch came to fruition once Brock Lesnar (5-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) dropped out of the running, choosing, apparently, to retire (again) rather than come back to the UFC from the WWE. In July 2018, Lesnar came into the cage after Cormier beat Miocic to become a dual champion, and the stage was set from there – only to never play out.
Before the Cormier-Miocic news was official, we asked you in our MMA Junkie Radio Daily Debate what you think the next heavyweight title fight should be. Do you like the Miocic rematch? Would you rather see Cormier wait for the winner of Junior Dos Santos-Francis Ngannou? Or would you like to see the UFC aggressively pursue Lesnar to make that fight happen at all costs?

Igor Severino’s life isn’t the same as it was one week ago. As of now, the 20-year-old ex-UFC fighter doesn’t know if it’ll ever be even similar after he bit opponent Andre Lima during their March 23 fight at UFC on ESPN 53 in Las Vegas. The highly unusual...
