OMG!!!!! It’s finally here!! UFC 241 is upon us this week. We have the title for the baddest man on the planet up for grabs with Daniel Cromier putting his heavyweight title up against the man he beat for it Stipe Miocic. Stipe is convinced that the previous outing was a fluke and he is ready to reclaim his crown a top the division. We also see the return of Nate Diaz. He enters the octagon against red hot Anthony “Showtime” Pettis. They have had beef for sometime and now they get to settle it finally. This should be action packed and could be a contender for fight of the night and year. And this card doesn’t stop here. We have a colossal match up in the middleweight division , with former title challenger and top 5 middle weight Yoel Romero takes on Paulo Costa to see who deserves a crack at the UFC middleweight championship. We have UFC fighter and teammate of Anthony Pettis joining us for the picks this week.
