Stipe Miocic is already watching his return to the octagon

And when he does, he wants his revenge.

Almost a week after losing the UFC Heavyweight Championship to Daniel Cormier at UFC 226 in Las Vegas, Miocic spoke to ESPN about the defeat – and what happened after. In doing so, the Cleveland native made it clear that he wanted a shot at the title as he defended a record three times.

"I want a title shot, I deserve it," Miocic told Brett Okamoto. "I cleaned up the division, I defended it more than everyone else, and you'll tell me I do not deserve a chance to get it back … Get out of here … Kiss my … if you do not believe that deserves that. "

The problem for Miocic is that Cormier's first challenger seems to have already been handpicked. Moments after his first-round victory by knockout, Cormier recalled former UFC heavyweight champion and current WWE star Brock Lesnar, who watched the match's cageside

Speaking to ESPN, Miocic, who is fighting in Independence, Ohio , challenged Lesnar's comments.

"It was a show and it was disrespectful," Miocic said, "I did not think it was what the UFC was all about."

It is unclear whether Miocic would be willing to wait to fight the winner of a Cormier-Lesnar match that seems likely for January 2019. Given his status of One of the biggest heavyweight in the history of the UFC (if not 19459015), Miocic should not run out of challengers, as he has already been called by the former adversary Junior dos Santo , who beat Blagoy Ivanov during the UFC fight night this weekend.

But for now, Miocic does not have his eyes riveted on one opponent, but rather on the title he was holding.When asked he would accept another opponent before a rematch, he simply stated, "No."
