Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is now just a couple of days away from its UFC 252: “Miocic vs. Cormier 3” mixed martial arts (MMA) event on ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV), set to go down this Saturday night (Aug. 15, 2020) inside UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.
But before they fight, Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier took part in the traditional pre-fight press conference (video replay here). Soon thereafter, the heavy hitters once again stared each other down in what will be the first of two more face-offs before they start swinging for glory.
Here is a closer look for your viewing pleasure:
