Over the weekend, UFC President Dana White confirmed that the long-awaited trilogy fight between heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic and former heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier will be held in the UFC APEX. The APEX, the UFC’s own arena in Las Vegas, has played host to a number of events in recent weeks as a controllable environment amid the global coronavirus concerns. More importantly, the APEX features a 25-foot octagon instead of the standard 30-foot octagon primarily used by the UFC. And for Cormier, that’s music to his ears.
Cormier and Miocic have fought twice before.
