During a conversation on DC & Helwani Podcast, Cormier said that even though Miocic gained weight during the coming rematch, it was difficult to win nunnou.
“I think that if you play with nunnou, the first thing is to be very heavy. Because nunnou itself is like a giant. Miocic is able to knock Ngunnou if it is a little stronger. I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but it seems a right step.”
In the past, Miocic has defeated Ngunnou in 5 rounds with the fall and put most of the match time into the battlefield. However, in the recovery match UFC 260Miocic failed when trying to catch Ngannou and received failure in the second half.
After the Miocic match, this defeat was because he did not build enough muscles and was too light weight compared to the nunnou. This American boxer said that if he was rematched with nunnou again, he would definitely balance the maximum of the maximum. Heavyweight. However, according to Cormier, just gaining weight is not enough to defeat the nunnou.
“Weight gain is a good idea, but I'm not sure it is enough to change the results of this match.”
