\"UFCAfter UFC 251<\/a> saw Kamaru Usman<\/strong> won by decision Jorge Masvidal<\/strong> and the bout between Alex Volkanovski<\/strong> and Max Holloway<\/strong> ending with a split decision, fans are anticipating another big night of action heading into UFC 252.<\/p>\n

Once again, the Apex in Las Vegas will play host to UFC 252<\/a> on the 15th of August, and the fight card is looking promising. <\/p>\n

The main event will feature Stripe Miocic<\/strong> and Daniel Cormier<\/strong> in a heavyweight title bout, while Sean O’Malley<\/strong> will face Marlon Vera<\/strong> in a bantamweight bout. <\/p>\n

Also making an appearance on fight night is Junior Dos Santos<\/strong>, who takes on Jairzinho Rozenstruik<\/strong> in a heavyweight bout.<\/p>\n

Miocic, at 37 years of age has both a reach and height advantage over Daniel Cormier. Miocic is also a solid, well-rounded fight with excellent knockout power and technique. He averages almost five strikes a minute and averages just over two takes downs every fifteen minutes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In their first bout in 2018, Cormier won with a first round knockout and walked away with the heavyweight title. However, when the two met for a rematch a year later, it was Miocic who earned the win. That win came in the fourth round, but not before a punishing first and second round.<\/p>\n

This is a tough bout to call as both fighters have the goods needed to win fights, and more importantly, end them early. In Miocic’s last dozen bouts, six ended in the first round., in his last 12, none have gone beyond the fourth round and therefore, unless Miocic gets knockout, his opponents’ odds increase. <\/p>\n

However, while the fight card features Evelyn bouts, including two on the women’s side, for our comparison, we are focusing on the Miocic vs Cormier and Sean O’Malley vs Marlon Vera bouts.<\/p>\n
