DALLAS – The ceremonial weigh-ins are complete for the UFC’s return to the “Lone Star State” of Texas.
UFC 211 takes place Saturday at American Airlines Center in Dallas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and UFC Fight Pass.
In the main event, heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic (16-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) goes after his second title defense when he takes on former champ Junior Dos Santos (18-4 MMA, 12-3 UFC) in a rematch. Dos Santos beat him at UFC on FOX 13 in December 2014, but Miocic has been on a four-fight knockout tear since then, including winning the title and defending it.
In the co-feature, strawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk (13-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) meets Jessica Andrade (16-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) in pursuit of her fifth title defense, approaching the women’s record held by former bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey.
