UFC 252 Heavyweight Championship Bout Featuring Former OSU Cowboy to be Shown Live at ONEOK Field

TULSA, OK – Combat sports fans looking to watch the long-awaited trilogy fight on Saturday, August 15 between Stipe Miocic and former Oklahoma State Cowboys wrestler Daniel Cormier will be able to watch the event live on the new high-definition, LED board at ONEOK Field.

“UFC 252 will be one of the most exciting sporting events of the year, and we are thrilled to give fans in the Tulsa area a chance to experience it in a unique setting,” said Tulsa Drillers General Manager Mike Melega. “It is a great opportunity for us to showcase our new, high-definition 67-foot video board, while also providing a memorable experience for fans.”

Tickets to the event are $15 each and will be available at TulsaDrillers.com. beginning at noon on Wednesday, August 5. Stadium food and beverage stands, including a full-service bar, will be open for the full UFC 252 card.

Stadium gates will open at 7:00 p.m. for the start of the undercard events. The pay-per-view event, which costs $65 for home viewing, begins at 9:00 p.m.

All tickets for the event will be general admission and will be limited as COVID-19 social distancing policies will be in place. UFC fans will have the opportunity to sit in the stands or to relax on the field with a blanket. Lawn chairs will not be permitted on the field.

The fight experience at ONEOK Field is made possible by Joe Hand Promotions, the nation’s premier distributor of premium sports and live entertainment to thousands of venues around the United States.

UFC 252 will also feature a pair of Bantamweight bouts with John Dodson facing Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O’Malley facing Marlon Vera. Next up, a Light Heavyweight matchup will feature Magomed Ankalaev against Ion Cutelaba. In the co-main Heavyweight Showdown, Junior Dos Santo will face Jairzinho Rozenstruik before the main event between Miocic and Cormier.

In 2018, Light Heavyweight Champion Cormier, who was an All-American wrestler at OSU, shocked the world when he stopped Miocic to become a two-division titlist. But Miocic evened the score with "DC" in emphatic fashion a year later, setting the stage for what promises to be an epic showdown between two of the best heavyweights of all-time.
