Tonight, Prelims on Fox Sports One and Fox Sports Go at 8 Eastern. Main Card on PPV at 10 Eastern.
Heavyweight Champ Stipe Miocic defends his belt against Light HW Champ Daniel Cormier in the main event. DC seeks to be become the 5th 2 division Champ. This is only the 3rd (Reigning) Champ V. Champ match-up in UFC History.
Scheduled co-main between Featherweight Champ Max Holloway and Brian Ortega cancelled due to Holloway developing "concussion-like symptoms". Whether it was a real concussion or just a bad weight cut I can't say.
Rest of the main card
Francis Ngannou vs. Derrick "The Black Beast" Lewis, HW
Paul Felder vs. Mike Perry, Welter
Former Lightweight Champ Anthony Pettis vs. Michael Chiesa, Chiesa missed weight
Gökhan Saki vs. Khalil Rountree Jr., LHW
