UFC 211: Miocic vs. dos Santos 2 is an ongoing mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship being held on May 13, 2017 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.[1]
Background
The event is the fourth that the UFC has hosted in Dallas, following UFC 185 in March 2015, UFC 171 in March 2014, and UFC 103 in September 2009.[2]
A UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between current champion Stipe Miocic and former champion Junior dos Santos is expected to serve as the main event.[3][4] The pairing met previously in December 2014 at UFC on Fox: dos Santos vs. Miocic, with dos Santos winning by a close unanimous decision.[5]
In the co-featured slot, a UFC Women's Strawweight Championship bout between the current champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk and Jéssica Andrade is expected to take place.[6][7]
A heavyweight bout between former heavyweight champion Fabrício Werdum and Ben Rothwell was originally booked for UFC 203. However, Rothwell pulled out due to a knee injury.[8] The fight was expected to take place at this event.[9] While never officially announced by the UFC, the pairing is expected to be scrapped after Rothwell was flagged by USADA for a potential anti-doping violation.[10]
A welterweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Championship challenger Demian Maia and Jorge Masvidal was originally targeted to headline UFC Fight Night: Swanson vs. Lobov.[11] However on late February, it was announced that the bout was moved to this event.[12]
Jarjis Danho was expected to face promotional newcomer Dmitry Poberezhets at the event. However, Danho pulled out of the fight in mid-April citing an injury.[13] He was replaced by Chase Sherman.[14] In turn, Poberezhets was removed from the card for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by fellow newcomer Rashad Coulter.[15]
The 2008 Olympic gold medalist in freestyle wrestling and former UFC Flyweight Championship challenger Henry Cejudo was expected to face Sergio Pettis at the event. However on May 10, it was announced that Cejudo suffered a hand injury and the bout was canceled.[16]
A featherweight bout between promotional necomers, Jared Gordon and Michel Quinones was expected for the event. However, Gordon pulled out of the fight on the day before the event due to stomach illness and as a result, Quinones was removed from the card.[17]
