The rivals will clash in a featherweight title unification bout in Las Vegas on 12 December, with middleweight champion Chris Weidman defending his title against Luke Rockhold in the co-main event.

A number one contender bout in the 185lbs division, involving Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza and Yoel Romero, is also part of the stacked bill for the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
