At UFC 260, Stipe Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) has lost the championship in the hands of Francis nunnou (16-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) by the second half of the Knockout that made many fans stunned.
“I hate losing more than anyone else,” Miocic said on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
“I am very eager to win, and once I lose, that bitterness will burn forever in my heart. I still find it difficult to accept this defeat, but whatever happens, it has happened, and it is part of the game. I have to take my arrogance to run on the horse.”
Although I hope to have a rematch against the nunnou, maybe Stipe Miocic still has to wait long. Ngannou is likely to rematch against Derrick Lewis first, and then there is a match waiting with Jon Jones.
However, Stipe Miocic is not afraid to wait – he intends to spend that time to improve his physical body, increase muscle, gain weight.
“My goal is to achieve 250 pounds (113.4 kg). The previous floor with nunnou, I weighed 230 pounds (104 kg), not because I intentionally cut the weight but because of the way I practiced at that time.
“I am still fine with the old weight, but an increase of 20 pounds will definitely make a difference. I will feel better, stronger to fight with nunnou – a giant.”
