UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic will defend his title on May 13 in Dallas, Texas when he takes on the last man to defeat him, former titleholder Junior dos Santos, who plans on regaining UFC gold in devastating fashion.
“Cigano”, who beat Miocic via unanimous decision back in 2014, wasn’t the original plan for Miocic’s upcoming title defense. Coming off a win over Ben Rothwell, the Brazilian was slated to headline an event in Halifax against Stefan Struve, but a series of changes led towards a title bout for the American Top Team talent.
