The only other fighter who held two championship belts simultaneously in the organisation was UFC superstar Conor McGregor.


Stipe Miocic went toe-to-toe with Cameroonian Francis Ngannou earlier this year and won via decision after five rounds.



Ngannou, who will also fight on UFC 226 against Derrick Lewis, said he wasn’t sure who would win the clash.


The heavyweight contender said: “I think everyone can win - I can’t say anything.

“Honestly I don’t know - I think it’s two wrestlers, they have the same style, like to put pressure on and then to take their time.”


Miocic is currently on a six-fight winning streak in which four were finished inside the first round.



Cormier’s last loss inside the octagon was in January 2015 against Jon Jones.


In UFC 214  in July 2017, Jones fought and knocked Cormier out but the fight was ruled a no contest after Jones tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug.


Cormier was reinstated as the champion and went on to defend the title against Volkan Oezdemir back in January.
