The card is being headlined by a tremendous bout by two top heavyweight fighters of UFC. Junior dos Santos is taking on Francis Ngannou. If there was ever a fight with title shot repercussions, this would be it. In the co-main event of the night, a Flyweight fight with title repercussions is also set to take place, as Jussier Formiga will be facing Joseph Benavidez.
