UFC fans now have a timetable for the promotion’s next heavyweight blockbuster, as Zuffa Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Fertitta revealed early Friday morning that Junior dos Santos is expected to defend his title against Alistair Overeem on Memorial Day weekend in Las Vegas.
The executive announced the news via Twitter while responding to a fan query about the impending heavyweight title bout. While it has not been announced officially by the promotion, UFC 146 is expected to take place May 26 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
