With UFC 251 in the books and the UFC’s excursion to ‘Fight Island’ now nearly complete, all eye are starting to drift ahead towards the next major card on the horizon, UFC 252. While there are other fight cards between now and then, UFC 252 figures to be one of the marquee events of the summer, headlined by a good, old-fashioned heavyweight trilogy fight between champion Stipe Miocic and former champion Daniel Cormier.
In their first bout, Cormier, the then-light heavyweight champion, moved up and stunned Miocic, knocking him out in the first round to become only the second fighter in UFC history to hold belts in two divisions simultaneously.
