So far, 2018 has been a perfectly fine year of UFC action. It’s been strong and steady, with many young talents breaking through, one new champion crowned, and a slew of memorable action fights. But when it comes to bouts of real gravitas, it’s been tumbleweeds. That changes Saturday night, when the organization puts on a true superfight at UFC 226, pitting light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier against heavyweight kingpin Stipe Miocic.
For obvious reasons, most champ vs. champ bouts favor the bigger fighter, and on the betting line, this one is no different; Miocic is about a -225 favorite on most books.
