\n LAS VEGAS \u2014 Stipe Miocic defeated Daniel Cormier by unanimous decision in a five-round bout Saturday night to win the rubber match in a fantastic trilogy between the fighters and retain his heavyweight championship.<\/p>\n

Miocic (20-3) swept the scorecards 49-46, 49-46 and 48-47 to stake his claim as perhaps the greatest heavyweight in UFC history.<\/p>\n

Miocic tagged Cormier with a vicious poke to his left eye late in the third round that sent the challenger staggering to his corner. Cormier\u2019s eye was about swollen shut, but he game<\/a>ly fought on the final two rounds in the main event of UFC 252 at the UFC APEX complex in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t see anything out of my left eye,\u201d Cormier said. \u201cIt\u2019s black.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cormier was taken to the hospital after the bout. The 41-year-old Cormier (22-3, 1 NC) is a former two-division champion and has already cemented his status as one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in UFC history. The amiable Cormier, who has found his niche as a successful broadcaster, had vowed to retire after Saturday and end a career in which 10 of his last 11 fights were fought with a championship on the line.<\/p>\n

Cormier said he stood by his decision to retire. He won the first fight between the two but dropped two straight to Miocic.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not interested in fighting for anything but titles and I don\u2019t imagine there\u2019s going to be a title in the future,\u201d Cormier said. \u201cThat will be it for me. I\u2019ve had a long run, it\u2019s been great, I just fought my last fight for a heavyweight championship and it was a pretty good fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

UFC President Dana White had said Francis Ngannou was next in line for a heavyweight title shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat performance to both guys. \u2026 Congrats to Stipe on the performance. See you soon,\u201d Ngannou tweeted.<\/p>\n

Jon Jones, the reigning UFC light heavyweight champion, tried to stir the pot on social media<\/a> by throwing his name into the pot for a fight with Miocic.<\/p>\n

\u201cHeavyweight world championships I will be seeing you real soon. Victorious,\u201d Jones tweeted.<\/p>\n

Miocic nearly got the finish at the end of the second round and had Cormier in trouble until time ran out.<\/p>\n

Cormier knocked out Miocic at UFC 226 in the first round in their 2018 bout to win the heavyweight belt. Miocic defeated Cormier last August in the rematch at UFC 241.<\/p>\n

The winner of this bout could make an argument as the greatest heavyweight champion in UFC history. Miocic has plenty left in the tank to keep cementing his legacy as the best big man UFC has seen.<\/p>\n

Cormier finished with a 1-2 mark against Miocic and a losing mark against Jones. Cormier lost both fights to Jones, though the second one was overturned when Jones failed a doping test. The result was changed to a no contest.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
