Esther Lin, MMA Fighting

A UFC heavyweight title fight is coming to Big D.

According to multiple sources, the promotion has booked Stipe Miocic vs. Junior dos Santos 2 for the UFC heavyweight title at UFC 211 on May 13 in Dallas.

The fight was first reported by Combate.com .

Miocic (16-2) has won four fights in a row since his controversial unanimous decision loss to JDS in Dec. 2014. Since then, he beat Mark Hunt, Andrei Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum (for the heavyweight title), and in his first title defense, Alistair Overeem last September.

Dos Santos (18-4) has only fought twice since his win over Miocic. He lost to Overeem via TKO in Dec. 2015 and beat Ben Rothwell by unanimous decision in April.

The UFC is expected to officially announce the fight, which will take place at the American Airlines Center, in the coming days.
