The UFC likes to go big for International Fight Week every summer. When it comes to the main event for that week’s pay-per-view, the promotion always tries to knock it out of the park.
This year, that day will come July 6 at UFC 239 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. For those keeping track, that means we’re four months away for what could be the biggest card of the year after it’s all said and done.
In order for that to be the case, though, a bonafide huge headliner has to be on the card. Last year, you’ll recall, the UFC went with a champion-vs.-champion showdown that pitted then-light heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier challenging Stipe Miocic for the heavyweight title. Cormier’s knockout to earn champ-champ status made for an epic finish to the night.
This year, Cormier could be in the mix again to defend his title against Brock Lesnar. That’s just one option the UFC could be exploring for UFC 239. It could also be considering a few more options, including the return of Conor McGregor vs. … somebody. But we just don’t know for sure.
