Two longtime heavyweights will collide in March.
Stefan Struve and Andrei Arlovski, both of whom could certainly use a victory, are set to meet at UFC 222, the promotion’s third pay-per-view event of 2018. UFC officials announced the news Thursday.
Struve (28-9) is coming off a September main event loss to Alexander Volkov in Rotterdam. He was stopped in the third round with strikes. That defeat snapped a two-fight winning streak, which consisted of stoppages of Daniel Omielanczuk and former title challenger Antonio Silva.
Arlovski (26-15, 1 NC) recently ended a five-fight skid with a decision win over Junior Albini at UFC Fight Night 120 last month.
