How To Watch Or Live Stream UFC 252 Prelims

The third — and likely final — bout between Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier takes place tonight. The heavyweight matchup headlines the UFC 252 pay-per-view card from UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Cormier won the first meeting between the two when he scored a first-round knockout over Miocic in the main event of UFC 226, which took place in July 2018.

In the rematch, which headlined UFC 241 in August 2019, Cormier took a lead in the early going of the fight, but Miocic changed his style in the fourth round. That adjustment was a success and he knocked out Cormier near the end of the fourth stanza.

Cormier has said the trilogy bout against Miocic will mark the end of his MMA career.

In the co-main event, Sean O’Malley, who broke into the UFC bantamweight rankings with a knockout win over Eddie Wineland in June, puts his unbeaten record on the line against the unranked Marlon Vera.

At the top of the preliminary card, Jim Miller makes his record 36th appearance inside the octagon when he faces Vinc Pichel in a lightweight bout. Miller enters the contest coming off his 10th submission win in the UFC. Pichel, who has not fought in more than a year, is coming off a decision win. Both men defeated the same opponent in their most recent outings, Roosevelt Roberts.

Felice Herrig also competes on the prelims. Herrig has not fought since October 2018. She is on a two-fight losing skid. Herrig faces Virna Jandiroba, who is coming off a submission win over Mallory Martin.
