UFC on Fox 17 is scheduled for Saturday, December 19.

The final UFC event of 2015 features a lightweight title scrap between Rafael dos Anjos and Donald Cerrone. The two previously competed back in 2013, when dos Anjos earned a decision win over Cowboy.

Heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Alistair Overeem collide in the evening’s co-main event. Dos Santos bounced back from an abortive title run by defeating Stipe Miocic last December. Overeem has won two straight and three of his last four.
