UFC 252 is under twenty-four hours away and is all set to enthrall fans. The eleven fights on the card will go ahead live from the UFC Apex. However, two featherweight fights will proceed at catchweight instead of in their respective weight classes as they were unsuccessful in making weight. 

T.J.Brown, who faces Daniel Chavez on the preliminary card, stepped onto the scales 0.5 pounds over the non-championship limit. Additionally, Herbert Burns, who will kick off main card proceedings, missed weight by a massive 3.5 pounds.

Nevertheless, his bout against Daniel Pineda will go ahead as he will give up 20% of his earnings. 

This will mark Burns’ second catchweight bout in a row. Earlier, he competed and beat Evan Dunham in the opening contest of UFC 250. Like Burns, T.J.Brown too forfeited 20% of his fight purse to his opponent. 

Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic make weight ahead of UFC 252

Heavyweight fighters have to stay under a weight limit of 265 pounds for their UFC fights to become official. UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic stepped on the scale at 233 lbs and his opponent, the outgoing Daniel Cormier, weighed 236. As a result, the main event and biggest fight on the card will progress as per plan.

‘DC’ will aim to regain the UFC heavyweight championship and stick to his plan of leaving the sport on a high. He beat Miocic in the first round at UFC 226 when the pair clashed for the first time and became a dual champion. 

A year later, the Ohio fighter orchestrated a stupendous mid-fight comeback to stun Cormier and regain his titles. 

The third fight will be the end of an era, and based on the way things have shaped up in the division, it will set the next opponent for the ultra dangerous Francis Ngannou.
