Your confidence is at an all-time high but you said you’re going to knock him out? You’re not going to outwrestle him, you’re not going to submit him – you’re going to knock him out?”Cormier then went on to explain why he made the prediction. He said the move to heavyweight had helped pack more power in his strikes and he could very well finish Stipe. Cormier also spoke about trying to take advantage of the holes in Miocic's game.He said Miocic kept his guard low after moving out of clinch position and that's when he'd try to strike him right on the money. That's exactly what happened during the fight as Cormier became a two-weight world champion:“Look man. There are some things that he does – especially when you get out of clinch positions where his hands are pretty low and that chin is way up in the air. He’s got a big ol’ face and I’m going to try and crack him upside his head.“I used to hit guys and it would have effect on them. At 205lbs, that seemed to disappear. In sparring I’ve put guys down on five or six occasions this training camp and that’s something I haven’t done in years.“I’ve put guys down with hands. I’ve put guys down with kicks. My strikes are now having the effect that they did when I started to fight.” said Cormier.WOW!
