Junior dos Santos vs Stefan Struve rematch to headline UFC Halifax
A heavyweight main event has officially been added to UFC Halifax.
As the UFC reported, former heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos will rematch the second man he ever faced in the UFC, Stefan Struve, eight years after their first clash.
The first bout ended 54 seconds into the first round at UFC 95, where Dos Santos defeated his Dutch foe by TKO. The match was also Struve's UFC debut.
Junior dos Santos (18-4) has been inconsistent in the last few years and simply unable to put together a win streak since 2012. In his last outings, he gathered wins over the likes of Ben Rothwell, Stipe Miocic and Mark Hunt, while losing to Alistair Overeem and twice to Cain Velasquez.
