Stipe Miocic has history in his crosshairs.

The reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight titleholder will defend his crown when he completes his trilogy with Daniel Cormier in the UFC 252 headliner on Aug. 15 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Miocic split his first two meetings with Cormier, falling by first-round knockout in July 2018 before avenging the loss with a fourth-round technical knockout of the American Kickboxing Academy captain a little more than a year later.
