It appears that Chris Daukaus will be taking a step up in competition for his next Octagon appearance.
UFC president Dana White told broadcast partner ESPN on Monday that Daukaus will square off against two-time heavyweight title challenger Derrick Lewis at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Dec. 18. The bout has not been finalized, but it will likely serve as the headliner for the Fight Night card once. The UFC Apex in Las Vegas is the probable venue.
Daukaus is currently on a five-fight professional winning streak, with four of those victories coming in UFC competition.
