A matchup of top-10 heavyweights has been added to the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s next network-televised fight card, as the organization Tuesday announced that Junior dos Santos and Alistair Overeem will clash at UFC on Fox 17.
The scheduled three-round bout will serve as co-headliner for the Dec. 19 event at Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. Topping the card is a UFC lightweight championship bout between newly crowned champion Rafael dos Anjos and three-time World Extreme Cagefighting title challenger Donald Cerrone.
Dos Santos and Overeem have been scheduled to meet twice before.
