UFC 241 FIGHT CARD - Express Sport brings you everything you need to know about UFC 241: Cormier vs Miocic 2.
The UFC returns to pay-per-view action this weekend with their biggest card of 2019.
Topping the bill at the Honda Center in Anaheim is the eagerly-anticipated heavyweight title rematch between champion Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic.
Miocic will be looking to avenge the stunning first-round knockout loss he suffered to Cormier last July at UFC 226, which brought about the end of his reign atop of the heavyweight division.
UFC 241 will also feature one of the most anticipated fights of the year.
Nate Diaz lights up CBD joint at public workout ahead of UFC comeback
In the co-main event of the evening, fan favourite Nate Diaz will make his long-awaited return to the Octagon against former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis.
Ultimate Fighter season five winner Diaz hasn’t graced the cage since his UFC 202 rematch with Conor McGregor, which took place nearly three years ago, so fans will be chomping at the bit to see him in action against ‘Showtime’.
A tasty middleweight bout between two-time title contender Yoel Romero and Paulo Costa serves as the appetiser for Diaz vs Pettis and has all the ingredients to be a Fight of the Night contender.
UFC 241 is without a doubt the biggest card of 2019 so far, making it a must-watch for fight fans.
