LAS VEGAS – Stipe Miocic will defend his heavyweight title against light-heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier at UFC 226.
The rare matchup of two reigning champions on July 7 will cap the seventh annual UFC International Fight Week.
Miocic and Cormier both defended their titles last Saturday at UFC 220 in Boston.
Miocic (18-2) outpointed Francis Ngannou in the main event at TD Garden and set the UFC heavyweight record with his third straight successful title defence.
Cormier (20-1) dominated Volkan Oezdemir via TKO to retain the 205-pound belt.
