Video: Let the UFC 211 extended preview remind you how amazing that night is going to be


On paper, UFC 211 is one of the most stacked cards the UFC has ever put together. But it’s not just depth that’s making this card look so special – there are two very incredible championship bouts at the top of the bill.

UFC 211 takes place May 13 at American Airlines Center in Dallas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the main event, heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic (16-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) takes on former champ Junior Dos Santos (18-4 MMA, 12-3 UFC) in a rematch of their thrilling December 2014 affair. That night, Dos Santos walked away with a razor-thin decision win, but both men believe victory is on the horizon for them in the headliner.

Miocic is currently ranked No. 1 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA heavyweight rankings, while Dos Santos is No. 5.

Meanwhile, in the co-feature, strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk (13-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) takes on hard-hitting Brazilian challenger Jessica Andrade (16-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC), who has looked phenomenal since dropping down to 115 pounds.

Jedrzejczyk is No. 1 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA strawweight rankings, while Andrade checks in at No. 5.

Both fights could be absolute barnburners, and the rest of the card looks pretty solid, as well.
