Miocic, however, told Australia’s Submission Radio that he gets it.
“I would never let them throw in the towel,” he said.
Miocic also isn’t prepared to take a step back after his dominant victory made him one of the top contenders for a shot at the heavyweight title after Cain Velasquez and Fabricio Werdum square off in June.
Asked which fellow contender he wanted to fight next, Miocic didn’t want any of them. His focus is unwavering: “Listen, I want a shot a title. That’s all I care about.”
All this and more in Moicic’s above interview with Submission Radio.
