UFC 252 is around the corner and it will be great to see the Daniel Cormier vs Stipe Miocic rematch from last year. However, another fight that is making the headline is the co-main event featuring heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Jairzinho Rozenstruik. 

The former UFC Heavyweight Champion Cigano has a very rich history and has amassed a lot of success during his 13-year-long association with the company. He tasted his first defeat in the UFC after winning eight straight fights. Everyone remembers his hot rivalry with Cain Velasquez that led to a trilogy fight.

The 36-year-old has a 21-7-0 MMA record and a 15-6 UFC record as he enters the octagon in August.

UFC 249 saw Francis Ngannou take on Rozenstruik in the cage and bring the fight to a humiliating close by a 20-second stoppage. The Surinamese had earlier defeated Alistair Overeem and Andrei Arlovski.

The last time Santos fought Overeem was in 2015, where he lost in the second round. So this fight becomes very important as a comeback fight for both the fighters recovering from losses.
