UFC 252: MIOCIC VS CORMIER 3
A UFC Heavyweight Championship trilogy between current two-time champion Stipe Miocic and former champion Daniel Cormier (also former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion) is expected to serve as the event's headliner.[4] The pairing first met at UFC 226 on July 7, 2018, when then light heavyweight champion Cormier knocked out Miocic in the first round to capture the heavyweight title.[5] Their second meeting took place at UFC 241 on August 17, 2019, when Miocic got his revenge via fourth round knockout.[6]
A bantamweight bout between Pedro Munhoz and former UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar was briefly linked to UFC 251. However, promotion officials elected to schedule the pairing four days later for UFC on ESPN: Kattar vs. Ige.[7] On July 6, it was announced that the bout between Munhoz and Edgar was scrapped due to Munhoz testing positive for COVID-19.[8] They were later rescheduled for this event.[9]
