Tickets for UFC 220, which airs live on Pay-Per-View, go on sale on December 15.
In the storied history of the UFC heavyweight division, no one has successfully defended the title three times in a row. This January, Miocic is on the verge of history, but to get there, he has to follow up his wins over Alistair Overeem and Junior Dos Santos by turning back the most imposing threat to his crown in the form of Cameroon’s Ngannou, whose back-to-back demolitions of Andrei Arlovski and Overeem have fans already anointing him as MMA’s next great big man.
Eager to defend his crown once more, two-time Olympian Daniel Cormier is adding to his legacy with each fight, and after defeating the likes of Alexander Gustafsson, Anthony Johnson, Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson over the last three-plus years, he wants to begin 2018 with another stellar victory when he meets Oezdemir, a Switzerland native who made a name for himself in the Octagon with wins over Ovince Saint Preux, Misha Cirkunov and Jimi Manuwa, the latter two victories taking a combined 70 seconds.
