Derek Brunson vs. Ian Heinisch official for UFC 241 in August

A middleweight showdown between Derek Brunson and Ian Heinisch is now official for the upcoming UFC 241 card slated for Aug. 17 in Anaheim, Calif.

The UFC announced the fight on Wednesday along with a women’s flyweight contest between Sabina Mazo and former “Ultimate Fighter” prospect Shana Dobson.

The new fights will be featured on the undercard to the main event where heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier faces off with Stipe Miocic in a rematch after first meeting last year.

The fight between Brunson and Heinisch came together rather quickly after each of them picked up wins in recent bouts.
