A heavyweight showdown between Stipe Miocic and Ben Rothwell has been finalised for UFC Fight Night in Dublin. It will come on the card of Dustin Poirier vs. Joe Duffy on October 24.
Confirmation of the fight came via the UFC Europe's official Twitter feed:
The bout is set to co-headline the event alongside Duffy’s clash with the highly rated Poirier.
It’s a bout that is likely to provide a clearer picture of what is becoming an increasingly congested heavyweight division.
Rothwell has done tremendously well over the last year to cement his status as a top heavyweight contender, with quickfire finishes against Alistair Overeem and Matt Mitrione testament to the American’s strong recent form.
