After Brock Lesnar scurried back to the world of professional wrestling, UFC was forced to give former heavyweight champion, Stipe Miocic, his long-desired rematch against the man who creamed him for the title, Daniel Cormier. Elsewhere on the card, Nate Diaz (finally) makes his Octagon return in a lightweight battle against Anthony Pettis, while Yoel Romero settles his middleweight war of words opposite Paulo Costa. Fun!
