Who will walk away as the greatest UFC heavyweight of all time?
Tonight’s main event will see Stipe Miocic defend the 235-pound belt against Daniel Cormier in their third and final match. Both men own one victory a piece and the final fight between the top UFC stars should be a thrilling clash between the two veterans.
In the co-main event, Marlon Vera hopes to be the first man to beat No. 14 ranked fighter Sean O’Malley. The rising prospect has scored some jaw dropping knockouts over the past year; however, Vera will be his toughest test to date.
Top heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Jairzinho Rozenstruik battle for an opportunity to inch closer to the No. 1 seed of the 235-pound division. Both men are coming off losses from their previous encounters, though the former UFC Heavyweight Champion is in the midst of a two-fight losing streak.
Expect Herbert Burns, John Dodson, Jim Miller, Felice Herrig, Daniel Pineda, and Merab Dvalishvili to be in action for tonight’s event. Check out the advertised line-up for UFC 252:
