UFC 207: Cain Velasquez will get heavyweight rematch with Fabricio Werdum
Cain Velasquez will have another shot to get back in UFC heavyweight title contention
The UFC 207 pay-per-view in Las Vegas on Dec. 30 that will feature Ronda Rousey's return against Amanda Nunes has had another major bout added to the card.
Heavyweights Cain Velasquez and Fabricio Werdum will meet in a rematch of their UFC 188 bout where Werdum upset Velasquez to take the heavyweight title. In his first title defense, Werdum lost the belt to current champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 198 in Brazil after the rematch scheduled for February was scrapped because of an injury to Velasquez.
Both fighters have won their most recent bouts, with both of them beating Travis Browne. Velasquez did so in impressive knockout fashion at UFC 200, while Werdum beat Browne by unanimous decision at UFC 203. The winner of this No. 1 vs. No. 2 contender bout will be in line for the next heavyweight title shot against Miocic.
