UFC 252: Stipe Miocic vs. Daniel Cormier 3 weigh-in results
Now, all that's left for Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier to do is fight in the Octagon.
Both heavyweights stepped onto the scale for Friday's weigh-in at the UFC host hotel in Las Vegas, with the champion Miocic coming in at 233 pounds and Cormier registering 236 pounds. Miocic will defend his heavyweight title against Cormier in their trilogy fight to headline UFC 252 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday.
Cormier weighed 246 pounds and Miocic was 242.5 entering their first fight in July 2018, when Cormier won via first-round KO to become the heavyweight champion. Their rematch last August had Miocic weighing 230.5 pounds to Cormier's 236.5, before Miocic delivered a fourth-round TKO to snatch his title back.
The major hiccup at Friday's weigh-in was Herbert Burns, who missed making weight by 3.5 pounds ahead of his slated featherweight clash with Daniel Pineda. As of now, it's unknown whether the bout will be conducted at a catchweight. If it happens, Burns' purse will be penalized. TJ Brown also weighed 0.5-pound overweight and was given an hour to hit the 146-pound limit to face Danny Chavez in featherweight action.
