The UFC is back tonight (Sat., Aug. 15, 2020) with a heavyweight showdown from inside UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. Las Vegas will be the stage of UFC 252 and one of the most important fights in the history of the UFC heavyweight division. Stipe Miocic puts his belt on the line against Daniel Cormier for what will be the third fight in this exciting rivalry.
Daniel Cormier made it clear, this is his last fight. The former two-division champion intends on leaving the game on top with another belt to fill his already stacked trophy case. Miocic on the other hand plans on making it clear that he is the best heavyweight in UFC history. The champion has already broken the record for the most consecutive title defenses at heavyweight. After regaining his belt by knocking out Daniel Cormier in their second fight, he vows to go on another run as the champion and cement his legacy.
Intriguing prospect Sean O’Malley will look to keep his stardom when he takes on Marlon Vera in the co-main event. If “Suga” wins tonight it would be straight fifth win for him. Ever since he appeared on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series O’Malley is riding high.
