The clash of the titans will serve as the defining fight of the current era in the heavyweight division. One of the two men has held the heavyweight title since May 2016. In a division that has been noted for its constant turnover at the top, this is as close to a dynastic run as it gets.
The duo have already waged two wars. Cormier struck first when he ended Miocic’s reign with a first-round knockout. The champion hit back with a fourth-round TKO win in the sequel to reclaim his UFC gold.
Now they have one last shot to settle the score and make their claim as the best heavyweight in UFC history.
Outside of the main event is another appearance from budding star Sean O’Malley and a key heavyweight fight for rising prospect Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Junior dos Santos.
