UFC 252 ‘Take it to the Bank’ pick – Daniel Cormier or Stipe Miocic?

The UFC is back Saturday and the main event of UFC 252 promises to be an instant classic as the legendary Daniel Cormier is taking on heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic in a trilogy fight that all fight fans have been waiting for since their last fight last summer.

Cormier won their first fight in a first-round stunner two years ago. Then just about a year ago Miocic got his belt back with a fourth-round knockout of DC in a fight that was an absolute slugfest.

Now we get this third and likely final fight between two of the greatest fighters to step into the Octagon and I can’t wait. Making things even more interesting is this could be the final fight of Cormier’s storied career and you have to think he’s going to do everything he can to leave with a win and a belt around his waist.

With that being said, Miocic is an absolute force and a great champion who should be able to handle everything Cormier can throw his way.

This is going to be a great fight, one I can’t wait to see. Check out the video above to see who I think is going to win.
