UFC 241 MAIN EVENT START TIME - Express Sport brings you everything you need to know about UFC 241: Cormier vs Miocic 2.
The eighth UFC pay-per-view card of 2019 takes place early on Sunday morning, and the promotion has certainly stacked the deck for their return to Anaheim, California.
Headlining the card at the Honda Center is a heavyweight title rematch between champion Daniel Cormier and the division’s former ruler Stipe Miocic.
Cleveland’s Miocic will be looking to exact revenge on fan-favourite Cormier, who brought about the end of his reign as heavyweight king last July with a stunning first-round knockout victory.
In the co-main event of the evening, Nate Diaz will make his long-awaited return to the cage against former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis.
