The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to pay-per-view on Saturday, August 17 with one of the most highly-anticipated events of the summer. The event features a heavyweight championship bout and the return of a fan favorite against a top lightweight contender.
In the main event of the night, former two-division champ and current heavyweight titleholder Daniel Cormier faces off against former heavyweight king Stipe Miocic in a rematch.

In the co-main event, former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis welcomes fan favorite Nate Diaz, who is returning after three years out of action, back to the Octagon.
