A few weeks ago, a report surfaced from Combate indicating that the UFC was targeting a heavyweight title rematch between champion Stipe Miocic and former titleholder Junior Dos Santos for UFC 211, which is slated for May 13, 2017 from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.

Today (Feb. 6, 2017), the fight has been confirmed by MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani. According to his report, the UFC is expected to announce the bout in the coming days.

Miocic has won seven of his last eight bouts with his only loss in that stretch being a decision loss to Dos Santos in their UFC on FOX 13 main event bout, which ended up being a five round back-and-forth war. Since losing to “Cigano”, Miocic has won four straight over the likes of Mark Hunt, Andrei Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum and Alistair Overeem with all four of those victories coming by way of T/KO.

Dos Santos, on the other hand, hasn’t been as active since he fought Miocic in 2014, as he’s gone just 1-1, suffering a stoppage loss to Overeem and scoring a vintage decision victory over Ben Rothwell last April.

What do you make of this booking, and who do you expect to come out on top when these two heavyweight titans meet again?

It appears that Nate Diaz will be fighting soon and it will not be against UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor. UFC President Dana White recently noted that Diaz was presented a fight by the promotion but did not state who his opponent was. A rumor has been making the rounds online thanks to SmackHisFace.com regarding Diaz’s next fight.

Diaz’s camp informed them that he would be fighting former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez at UFC 211. Keep in mind that this is just a rumor for now as the UFC has yet to make the bout official.

Diaz is 2-1 in his last three bouts and most notably fought McGregor in his last two bouts. While Diaz won the first fight at UFC 196, he lost by decision to McGregor in his last fight at UFC 202 last August. On the other hand, Alvarez rose up the ranks in the division and captured the lightweight title with a win over Rafael dos Anjos last July. However, he lost it in his first title defense in November at UFC 205 against McGregor.

Diaz recently took to Twitter shortly after White stated that he offered him a fight and posted this:

Diaz wasn’t the only one to hop on social media and tease his next fight. Alvarez hinted at his return in a recent Instagram post, which you can see here:

"It's All I Know " See you Soon !!! ????????????#UGKING #UFC #THNQ #EAfight
