Reports: UFC Rebooks Headliner Smith-Teixeira on May 13, Confirms Overeem-Harris on May 16

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is planning on restoring its headliners from postponed cards to upcoming events.

MMA Junkie initially reported on Friday that the UFC is rescheduling two main events from past cards to the ones announced earlier in the day. The first is at light heavyweight, between former title challengers Anthony Smith (33-14) and Glover Teixeira (30-7), and it will sit atop the May 13 event. The other is a heavyweight rumble between Alistair Overeem (45-18, 1 NC) and Walt Harris (13-7, 1 NC), which will be the marquis attraction on the May 16 event.
