Junior dos Santos and Alistair Overeem are set to co-headline UFC on FOX 17 in Orlando on Dec. 19, and the Brazilian is happy to finally have the chance to meet his old foe.
"Cigano" and Overeem were slated to meet inside the Octagon two times before, but the former K-1 and Strikeforce heavyweight champion pulled out both time for different reasons. At UFC 146, Overeem tested positive for elevate levels of testosterone. A year later, in 2013, he suffered an injury prior to UFC 160.
The UFC announced on Tuesday that dos Santos and Overeem will meet in a three-round bout at the Amway Center in Florida, and "Cigano" hopes his rival makes it to the fight this time.
