Unpacking UFC 252: End of the trilogy, end of an era

UFC 252 promised an epic trilogy fight between Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier, and it didn’t disappoint as the pair settled their rivalry at the UFC Apex.On this week’s episode of “The Brit Pack,” we take a look back at the events of last weekend, when Miocic defeated Cormier to retain his UFC heavyweight title and claim the “win” in the three-fight series between the pair.What did the win do for Miocic’s legacy? And how should Cormier be remembered now that he has announced his retirement from the sport? Also, what should happen next at the top of the heavyweight division? We answer those questions, and more, on this week’s episode.There’s also time for a quick look ahead to this weekend’s double-header, with Bellator 244 on Friday night, and UFC on ESPN 15 at the Apex on Saturday night.And, just before we wrapped things up, there was some breaking news, as Dominick Reyes and Jan Blachowicz reportedly agreed to a huge fight at 205 pounds, but does it mean there’s a title on the line? Given what’s happened since we stopped recording, there’s every chance there will be.It’s another jam-packed episode of “The Brit Pack” and we hope you enjoy it.
