The Honda Center was supposed to host a PPV earlier this year in January but the card has been canceled, but the UFC has collected a major card on August 17 for UFC 241: Cormier vs Miocic II at Anaheim. The reigning heavyweight champion, Daniel"DC" Cormier, is a -150??preferred to stay the titleholder, while former champ Stipe Miocic comes??straight at +120. I've a breakdown and a choice for every one the fights on the principal card. Cormier (-150) makes his second title defense in a rematch over a year in the building. DC made the leap to the heavyweight division in July of last year at UFC 226 and made a first-round knockout over then-champion Stipe Miocic to win against the strap. Cormier hasn't lost since UFC 182 at 2015 when he dropped by unanimous decision to Jon Jones.?? He had a knockout defeat in the hands of Jones in 2017 but it had been overturned to a no-contest later Jones failed a drug test. The Louisiana native has a terrific blend of wrestling and boxing. Cormier competed in wrestling at the 2004 Olympics and has been team captain in 2008 but was unable to compete that year because of a medical matter. At heavyweight, he's far more power in his punches and even despite his small height, he has a great deal of power for the branch. Miocic (+120) returns to the Octagon for the very first time since he dropped the title at UFC 226 at July 2018. The 36-year-old had been on a tear before this loss, winning six consecutive fights, for example establishing a UFC heavyweight record together with three title defenses. Throughout that winning series, Miocic'd five softball victories, four of which came from the very first round. The Ohio native does quite a fantastic job cutting off the cage and becoming in the face of his opponent. He's able to do so because of his own confidence in his striking in addition to his wrestling. Miocic averages 2.38 takedowns a 15 minutes and although his punches do not appear to be too dangerous, he has serious power inside them, with 14 of the 18 pro wins end by knockout. These two had a lively, albeit short??affair when they met just over one year ago. Miocic looked strong early pressing Cormier from the cage, made a takedown and had a success with his palms on. DC picked up since the very first round improved, letting his hands fly at striking range, essentially going shot for shot Miocic. The conclusion of the fight came with a well-placed right hook from the clinch that put the former champ asleep. I believe DC was gaining in momentum and confidence as??the struggle went on and we've seen Stipe slow as struggles have progressed.?? I expect a similar outcome this time around. For much more on this particular fight, take a look at my Odds Analysis Page. Pettis (-125) eyes back-to-back victories??for the first time as he won five in a row from 2011 to 2014. "Showtime" has??fallen six of the last 10 fights and has been on a win-one, lose-one streak on his last seven bouts. He's coming from a second-round playoff triumph over Stephen Thompson in March in his UFC welterweight debut,??earning??his first knockout??since he overcome Donald Cerrone in 2013 in that fashion. The Wisconsin native is a fascinating fighter who has plenty of expertise and a??well-rounded skill collection. Pettis has unorthodox striking with lots of spinning attacks and brassy faces, while having a powerful jiu-jitsu match off his rear. Showtime has a great chin, with his two knockout losses coming in the next round after a lot of damage, also he had a corner stoppage TKO reduction against Tony Ferguson in UFC 229 later he broke his hand. He became the first fighter to knock Stephen Thompson, showing new energy at his high weight class. Diaz (-105) intends to knock off a ring rust as he steps within the Octagon for the first time since UFC 202 at August??2016. The California native had back-to-back high profile conflicts with Conor McGregor in 2016, earning a second-round entry win in the first meeting??but losing by a bulk five-round decision the second time around. The Stockton native includes fantastic cardio and an off-beat, all-out manner of fighting. Diaz predominantly enjoys to be a counter-striker and will challenge his competitors by slapping themswearing in them giving them the finger, hoping they will participate in a brawl with him. He has a great chin, having just been pumped out once in his career despite being at some wars. That said, he has five orgasmic wins to his title as he generally simply keeps touching his rivals over and over again, but not with a whole lot of power. His main strength is the floor game where he's 11 entrance wins, such as the one over Conor McGregor. These are just two quite similar fighters that are extremely interesting with their strong chins, showy strikes and openness to interact with their opponent. There is some bad blood between the two as well, dating back to if Pettis defended his lightweight buckle against Diaz's friend and teammate Gilbert Melendez. I believe that Pettis will load up onto his strikes a little more, while Diaz enjoys to frustrate his opponents and can do so for a lengthy period of time. Pettis' kicks could be the deciding factor. Romero (-165) is back in action for the first time since his narrow split-decision reduction to Robert Whittaker to the middleweight title in June of last year. Since joining the UFC at 2013,"Soldier of God" has been rather dominant, sporting a record of 9-2 with his only losses coming from the current champ, Robert Whittaker, both by decision. Meanwhile, of the nine victories from the Octagon, seven were . The Cuba native is a very patient fighter that doesn't use a ton of additional energy by dancing around and discovering angles. He typically stands just on the outside of his opponent's range and slowly rocks back and forth until he storms forward with a flurry of punches or a takedown attempt. He averages 3.28 considerable strikes per minute, but when he unloads, it is generally lousy news for his opponent. In addition, his defense is tight, making his foes miss 63 percent of their efforts.?? Costa (+135) lays his perfect record on the lineup as he is 4-0 at the Octagon and 12-0 overall. "Borrachinha" was made short work of his rivals, having??only one fight in his profession go further than the halfway mark of the next round and that was his final bout when he pumped out Uriah Hall at 2:38 of the second circular. Of his 12 specialist wins, 11 were and one by entry. The Brazil native is an aggressive fighter, hauled forward from the beginning of this bout looking to unload his strong strikes. Costa is extremely light on his feet and??has good head motion and feints. He's got a ridiculous outcome of 8.83 significant strikes per minute and lands 59 percent of his takedown attempts, while in addition stuffing 81 percent of takedown attempts against. He does tend to shed his palms in markets, which leaves him exposed to counters. What a potential war between two guys who looked like they had been cut out of granite and have contrasting styles. Costa is all about aggression looking to put away his opponents in devastating manner, although Romero is much more individual and more technically sound. Costa has an issue by consuming 5.79 strikes every minute and against a power puncher such as Romero, he could be in a certain situation. Last, we have not seen Costa get dragged into deep waters and Romero has an excellent gas tank. Benitez (+255) is currently trying to pick up his very initial three-fight winning series in the Octagon. This is the first time we have observed"Moggly" as May of 2018 if he needed just 39 seconds to dispose of Humberto Bandenay. This victory was Benitez's first success from the UFC and also his first because 2013, and that he did it in style with a slam. The Mexico native is an aggressive fighter who storms forward from the outset of this fight with a flurry of kicks and punches. He's very light on his toes, floating round the Octagon and moving in and out of risk. His cries are extremely crisp and accurate, apparently finding his opponent's chin??with ease, and he averages 4.23 strikes per minute. Yusuff (-335) aims to stay undefeated at the UFC and pickup his fifth straight win total. "Super" earned a UFC contract with his choice victory over Mike Davis in July 2018 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. He has backed up that success with back-to-back wins at the Octagon, most recently making a unanimous-decision victory over Sheymon Moraes in March. The Nigeria native is a written fighter that gets into the face of his opponent, frequently standing only on the outside of striking selection. He occasions his strikes very well, searching for his opportunity to throw combinations, and he averages 6.42 strikes per minute??but also absorbs 4.22 strikes per minute. Although he absorbs a high??speed of strikes, his shield is very good with his hands held high and he rolls with punches really well. Benitez and Yusuff must put on a show within this bout. Moogly is a great deal lighter on his toes and constantly bounces about, but he wants to be the aggressor. Meanwhile, Super gradually inches forward and stands a little more flat-footed, sitting back on his strikes with much more power. Brunson (+140) appears to get consecutive victories for the first time since he beat Daniel Kelly and Lyota Machida by knockout in 2017. Observing that brief two-fight winning streak, the 35-year-old had back knockout reductions to Jacare Souza along with Israel Adesanya. His most recent bout was a unanimous-decision success over Elias Theodorou in May. The North Carolina native is a patient fighter who takes his time studying his opponent from a very long distance whilst slowly inching forward until he rains ahead using a flurry of punches. His strikes have enormous power that have??led to 11 of his 19 victories ending in knockouts. Six of the 10 UFC wins have ended in that manner also. But, four of his five losses in the Octagon have been by knockout,??mostly because he's slow to react to his opponent's movements and he leaves his mind in the exact identical place. Heinisch (-170) seems to extend his five-fight winning series and remain perfect at the Octagon. "The Hurricane" got a UFC contract along with all his first-round knockout victory over Justin Sumter at July of Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. He has won both of his fights in the UFC since making that contract, with unanimous-decision wins over Cezar Ferreira along with Antonio Carlos Jr.. The 30-year-old has a very awkward, slightly herky-jerky style with stutter steps and plenty of feints, looking for opportunities to catch his foe??dropping his palms . He puts up a great deal of his punches with long kicks and due to his awkward fashion, he only absorbs 1.37 strikes every minute. That said, he will are inclined to dip his head down when he yells his attacks, which renders him??exposed to uppercuts and knees. Brunson has an obvious power edge in this struggle as he tends to load up onto his strikes appearing to place his enemies off in the very first round. On the flip side, The Hurricane is the more mobile fighter but does have an issue stuffing takedowns as he had been brought to the floor nine times in his initial two UFC battles. Brunson averages 2.9 takedowns a 15 minutes, such as bringing Elias Theodorou??-- a comparable fighter to Heinisch -- to the ground four times during his final bout.
