We are finally here with perhaps one of the biggest trilogies in UFC history; Stipe Miocic is set to face off against Daniel Cormier for the third and final time for both the belt and the baddest man on the planet.
There are plenty of questions for tonight, and although DC looked to get the better out of the majority of the rounds in their last 2 appearances, the wins are split at one and one. Will DC stick to strictly wrestling? Will they have a stand-up war? DC made it clear that stipe better “bring his wrestling shoes”, but let’s see if he can stick to the gameplan.
In the co-main event, we have the Sugar Show returning to square off against Marlon Vera at Bantamweight. A win here will be huge for both competitors, and the victor should see a top-10 opponent in their next time out.
We will also see “Bigi Boy” Jairzinho Rozenstruik take on former UFC Heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos. These two top-10 Heavyweights will square off for a chance to get back into title contention. The two Heavyweights in the main events already said this could be one of their last fights, so the division should be on its toes.
The Main Card will be kicked off by an exciting match up at Bantamweight featuring John Dodson vs. Merab Dvalishili. The second fight of the main card will feature Herbert Burns vs. Daniel Pineda.
