Stipe Miocic isn’t exactly feeling the love. The most dominant heavyweight champion in UFC history, the guy who’s better than a 2-1 favorite in a genuine super fight against the reigning light-heavyweight champion, still feels like people expect him to lose to Daniel Cormier in Saturday’s UFC 226 main event in Las Vegas. “(It’s) just like every fight – I feel like everyone’s not really giving me a chance, like I’ve fought washed-up fighters or something like that,” Miocic told reporters during a media event in Los Angeles this week (watch it above). Kind of sad, when you think about it. Especially coming from the guy who is literally the odds-on favorite to win. Some of that might just be Miocic (18-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) stoking his own fires.
