UFC 252 was a little wild, a little weird, but overall fairly fun. Daniel Cormier’s final fight wasn’t without controversy, but he pushed Miocic to the absolute limits in an engaging 5-round heavyweight title fight. Marlon Vera’s fight with Sean O’Malley essentially didn’t happen. But, Jairzinho Rozenstruik got another highlight win. And Daniel Pineda crushed his re-entry to the UFC after more than 6 years away.
So, who does Stipe face for the heavyweight championship now—Jon Jones or Francis Ngannou? Will Marlon Vera get the chance to build off his upset win with another high profile fight? Or will Merab Dvalishvili get a crack at him instead?
