Demian Maia to Face Jorge Masvidal at UFC 211 in Dallas on May 13

Demian Maia and Jorge Masvidal are going to fight, but it won’t be in Nashville.

The welterweight contenders instead will square off on May 13 at UFC 211 in Dallas. MMAjunkie.com first confirmed the date and venue after a previous report claimed Maia and Masvidal would supplant Cub Swanson vs. Artem Lobov as the new UFC Fight Night 108 headliner on April 22. UFC 211 takes place at the American Airlines Center and is headlined by a heavyweight championship clash between Stipe Miocic and Junior dos Santos.
