Dana White isn’t convinced, though.

Asked by ESPN’s Brett Okamoto what goes through his head when he hears Cormier say his heavyweight title trilogy against Stipe Miocic in Las Vegas is his last fight, the UFC president paused and smiled,

“[I think] ‘No, it’s not’,” White said.

“It’s obviously gonna depend on how the fight plays out on Saturday night,” he added. “If Cormier wins in spectacular fashion this will not be his last fight, and knowing him the way I do, if he loses then it’ll be, ‘I can’t go out like this’.”
