UFC 241 preview with Chael Sonnen: What to expect from Cormier-Miocic, Diaz-Pettis, more

ANAHEIM, Calif. – The UFC puts on one of its biggest events of the year Saturday with UFC 241, which features three highly anticipated matchups at the top of the bill.

A heavyweight championship rematch between Daniel Cormier (22-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) and Stipe Miocic (18-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) headlines the card at Honda Center, which airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+/UFC Fight Pass.

The co-main event is perhaps the most hyped of all, with former UFC champ Anthony Pettis (22-8 MMA, 9-7 UFC) set to welcome Nate Diaz (19-11 MMA, 14-9 UFC) back to the octagon after a three-year hiatus.

In addition, Yoel Romero (13-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) will meet Paulo Costa (12-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) in a fight that finally materializes after three bookings.

To get insight into everything UFC 241, watch the video above as MMA Junkie senior reporter Mike Bohn and ESPN analyst Chael Sonnen preview the top storylines heading into the event.
