A heavyweight clash pitting Curtis Blaydes against Junior dos Santos will serve as the headliner when the Ultimate Fighting Championship travels to Raleigh, N.C., for the first time on Jan. 25.
ESPN was first to report the booking. Both Blaydes and dos Santos have agreed to the matchup, but the bout has not yet been officially signed. UFC Fight Night takes place at PNC Arena and is expected to air on ESPN+.
Blaydes is 7-2 with one no contest during his promotional tenure. Most recently, the Elevation Fight Team representative defeated Shamil Abdurakhimov via second-round TKO at UFC 242 on Sept.
