September 28, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Alistair Overeem will face Francis Ngannou in a heavyweight bout at UFC 219. The fight will serve as the co-main event of the card according to the UFC (per MMAjunkie). Ngannou was last set to fight at UFC 215 against Junior dos Santos, but that fight was scratched after Dos Santos was flagged for a potential anti-doping violation.

The show takes place on December 2nd from Detroit, Michigan and airs live on PPV after prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
