UFC Heavyweight Championship on the line tonight. Surprised our usual MMA crowd hasn't been talking about it. Perhaps that's a bad sign for UFC (lack of) buzz.

Trilogies are usually a big deal in combat sports, although nothing is ever quite like the first one.

In this case, Cormier-Miocic I wasn't super-anticipated. That was the one Cormier won by surprise upset knockout, I think.

In the rematch, Miocic set things straight with a KO.

Here in the third fight, two great champions but not a lot of hype. I haven't seen or heard much talk on ESPN or on the occasional few minutes of Jim Rome that I listen to after Staudt's show ends (maybe because Rome was on vacation, limited hype for this fight via the avenues I usually peruse).
