DC vs Miocic

This Saturday at UFC 252, UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier will throw down for a third and final time.

With their series of fights split at one knockout win for each man, the fight is not only about their legacies and the status of “greatest heavyweight in UFC history,” but also about claiming victory in one of the biggest rivalries in UFC history.

Trilogies represent the best case for a fighter to claim true superiority over a rival. A single loss can be chalked up to a bad night, a fluke result or bad judging. But getting the better of a trilogy means there is no doubt over who the better fighter was.

Dana White Promotes via Twitter

Dana White recently said that the one who wins the fight is going down as the best heavyweight in UFC history. In a recent tweet he revealed:

Cormier (22-2) is supposed to face Miocic (19-3) at UFC 252 for the third time in their careers. Miocic still holds the UFC heavyweight record of consecutive title defenses (three). Cormier is the only fighter in UFC history to hold both the heavyweight and light heavyweight titles simultaneously.
