Miocic vs Cormier: How to Watch UFC 252 from Australia

UFC 252 is finally here and fans of combat sports – or just any sport in general – are in for a treat this weekend when Stipe Miocic takes on Daniel Cormier for the UFC Heavyweight Championship.

The two have fought against each other twice before but UFC 252 will be particularly special — it’s Cormier’s last match and he’s looking to go out with a win. The previous two matches in 2018 and 2019 saw Cormier and Miocic win one each.

This one is for all the marbles. 1-1, both knockouts but great fights, I can’t wait to fight this dude again!! Now it’s time to work as hard as I ever trained. #weareaka #zinkinsportsmanagement #2xheavyweightchamp 2xlightheavyweightchamp pic.twitter.com/BvyhectS4X

It’s no understatement that how Cormier exits the sport is at the top of his mind.

“In mixed martial arts, yes – but then it can put you right alongside the greatest sports athletes of all time,” Cormier said at the fight news conference.

“Michael Jordan won with the Bulls when they beat the Jazz. Unfortunately, he came back — I won’t come back. Peyton Manning won a Super Bowl in his last season. It would put me in that type of sphere with the greatest athletes that have ever competed across any sport. So, when I win on Saturday [or Sunday for Australians], I will retire in that way.”

What date and time is the UFC 252 match between Miocic and Cormier?
