UFC 203 will hit Cleveland, Ohio this weekend for a September 10 pay-per-view bonanza. The main event pits heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic against highly decorated striker Alistair Overeem. Miocic will fight on home soil in his first title defense, and the Dutch destroyer will hope to continue the recent trend of titles changing hands in quick succession. The co-main event hold interesting implications and both men have history with the main event stars for the evening.
Travis Browne spectacularly knocked out Alistair Overeem in 2013, and Fabricio Werdum submitted has a 1-1 record against the ‘The Reem.’ Miocic sparked Werdum a UFC 198 to win the strap he defends this weekend, making the heavyweight square dance of UFC 203 all the more interesting.
Heavy Hands Up
The much anticipated/lamented UFC and MMA debut of CM Punk will also go down at UFC 203. The welterweight showdown with Mickey Gall could ironically hold more ramifications than we give it credit for. Should Punk get the win against Gall, the lines between sport and entertainment will blur even more. That issue has already caused plenty of hot debate lately.
Tune in at 6 PM ET to watch the guys and girls of UFC 203 in the traditional weigh-ins live stream. The early weigh-in results will be updated at around midday ET.
