Cain Velasquez apparently has no issue with Daniel Cormier returning to the heavyweight division to challenge champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 226. In fact, he’s even going to help him prepare for it. UFC officials announced on Friday that light heavyweight champion Cormier (20-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) will move up a division to challenge Miocic (18-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) for heavyweight gold at UFC 226, which takes place July 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. The pair will also serve as opposing coaches on Season 27 of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series. After starting his career at heavyweight and going 13-0, Cormier dropped to 205 pounds and has had championship success.
