Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight titleholder Stipe Miocic will headline the UFC 211 pay-per-view (PPV) event against the last man to beat him, former 265-pound titleholder Junior dos Santos.
Their five-round headliner is scheduled for Sat., May 13, 2017 inside American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
In order to get fans amped for the event, the promotion will assemble select fighters from the UFC 211 fight card — including strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk and top 115-pound contender Jessica Andrade — for a special media conference call, which kicks off today (Thurs., May 4, 2017) at 1 p.m. ET in the embedded video player above.
Get your ears on!
Miocic (16-2) dropped a razor-thin unanimous decision to Dos Santos at UFC on FOX 13 in late 2014. Undeterred, the Clevelander bounced back to capture four straight, including a knockout win over Fabricio Werdum to usurp the throne.
Dos Santos (18-4), ranked No. 4, struggled to remain active since their first go-round thanks to recurring injuries. “Cigano” was finished by Alistair Overeem at UFC on FOX 17, but recovered by outpointing Ben Rothwell in April 2016.
