Tickets on sale today for UFC 211's 2 title fights; $400 gets you cageside in Dallas


Just $50 will get you in the door for the UFC’s return to Dallas in May, and $400 will get you right up next to the action cageside.

Tickets go on sale today for UFC 211, which includes a heavyweight title main event between champion Stipe Miocic (16-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) and former champ Junior Dos Santos (18-4 MMA, 12-3 UFC) and a co-feature pitting strawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk (13-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) vs. Jessica Andrade (16-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC).

UFC 211 takes place May 13 at American Airlines Center in Dallas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Tickets for the event start at $50, and other seating categories cost $75, $100, $150, $225 and $400, not including taxes and fees. They go on sale through Ticketmaster to the general public Friday beginning at 11 a.m. ET (10 p.m. CT local time).

However, UFC Fight Club members can buy tickets today beginning at 10 a.m. CT, and UFC.com e-newsletter subscribers can purchase seats on Thursday at 10 a.m. CT.

Miocic’s fight with Dos Santos will be a rematch from his most recent loss, which went to “JDS” by unanimous decision after five “Fight of the Night” rounds at UFC on FOX 13 in Phoenix in December 2014. Although most of the MMA media outlets tracked by MMADecisions.com scored the fight for Dos Santos, a handful scored it for Miocic.

After that loss, he has four straight knockout wins. In May 2015, he headlined UFC Fight Night 65 in Australia and knocked out Mark Hunt in the fifth round. At UFC 195, he earned his title shot by knocking out former heavyweight champ Andrei Arlovski in just 54 seconds. Then he traveled to Fabricio Werdum’s home country of Brazil and dethroned the champ just past the midway point of the first round to capture the title. And for his first defense, at UFC 203 in front of his home fans in Cleveland, he rallied from an early knockdown against Alistair Overeem to KO the former Strikeforce champ in the first round. His three most recent wins have won fight-night bonus awards.

Dos Santos has alternated wins and losses for his past seven fights. He defended his heavyweight title against Frank Mir in May 2012, then lost the belt to Cain Velasquez in December 2012. He rebounded with a knockout of Hunt at UFC 160, then was dominated again in a trilogy rematch with Velasquez. He beat Miocic, then was knocked out by Overeem. Then he rebounded nicely with a five-round decision over Rothwell to put himself back in title contention.

He was supposed to fight Stefan Struve in the UFC Fight Night 105 headliner in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in February, but a Struve injury forced him out, and Dos Santos wound up with much bigger booking, instead, with a shot to recapture the title.

Undefeated in 13 pro bouts, champ Jedrzejczyk notched her fourth title defense at UFC 205 with a decision over fellow Polish standout Karolina Kowalkiewicz. She said a goal is to match now ex-champ Ronda Rousey’s six-defense mark.

She’ll put the belt on the line against the hard-nosed Andrade, who’s won three straight since dropping from bantamweight to strawweight.

The card is stacked below those two title fights, including: former lightweight champion and ex-featherweight title challenger Frankie Edgar (21-5-1 MMA, 15-5-1 UFC) vs. Yair Rodriguez (10-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) at 145 pounds; welterweight contenders Demian Maia (24-6 MMA, 18-6 UFC) vs. Jorge Masvidal (32-11 MMA, 9-4 UFC); former lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez (28-5 MMA, 3-2 UFC) vs. Dustin Poirier (21-5 MMA, 13-4 UFC); and onetime flyweight title challenger and Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo (10-2, 4-2 UFC) vs. Sergio Pettis (15-2, 6-2 UFC).

The latest UFC 211 lineup includes:

  • Champ Stipe Miocic vs. Junior Dos Santos – for heavyweight title
  • Champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Jessica Andrade – for strawweight title
  • Frankie Edgar vs. Yair Rodriguez
