The UFC’s return to Ohio will be capped off by a huge main event.
Heavyweights Francis Ngannou and Jairzinho Rozenstruik have agreed to meet at the upcoming UFC Fight Night card on March 28 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus.
Multiple sources confirmed verbal agreements are in place for the fight when speaking to MMA Fighting on Thursday. ESPN initially reported the contest.
Ngannou has been anxiously awaiting his chance to get back into action after his anticipated title shot faded away with the announcement that the UFC is plotting a trilogy between Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier sometime in 2020.
