UFC 252 results – Miocic vs. Cormier 3
This weekend all questions pertaining to ‘Who is the greatest heavyweight to have ever competed inside the UFC octagon’ will be answered when current champion Stipe Miocic and former champion Daniel Cormier meet for a third time.
The UFC 252 main event will determine just who has the edge in the records books as both men have previously recorded a win over one another.
Cormier shocked the world when he moved back up to heavyweight in July of 2018 at UFC 226, knocking Miocic out in the very first round. DC would then go on to successfully defend his newly claimed heavyweight gold against Derrick Lewis at UFC 230 later that year.
Miocic would return the favor at UFC 241, knocking Cormier out in the fourth round, to claim back his title.
