Far more than just the title is at stake when Daniel Cormier challenges Stipe Miocic for the Heavyweight Championship this Saturday at UFC 252.
Cormier (22-2, 1NC) is adamant that this will be the final fight of his illustrious wrestling and mixed martial arts career, with Miocic—one of only two men to defeat him in the Octagon—standing between him and a befitting walk-off victory.
Miocic (19-3) first won the heavyweight belt in May 2016. He then rattled off four impressive title defenses before a first-round knockout defeat to Cormier in July 2018 at UFC 226. That was the night when Cormier had a post-fight showdown in the cage with Brock Lesnar.
