Two new heavyweights have joined the UFC roster and will meet in the octagon at UFC 252.

Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that a matchup between Chris Daukaus and Parker Porter has been added to the Aug. 14 pay-per-view event, which takes place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas. MMA Junkie was first to report the booking.

Daukaus, a six-time CFFC veteran, was scheduled to challenge Shawn Teed for the promotion’s heavyweight title on Aug. 12 before receiving the call to the UFC.
