The main event of December’s UFC on FOX 17 will be a rematch as Rafael dos Anjos defends the lightweight title against Donald Cerrone in a rematch of their 2013 bout.
UFC officials announced the fight booking on Thursday.
UFC on FOX 17 will come from the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida on December 19 and ticket information will be released shortly.
Dos Anjos (24-7) became the UFC lightweight champion in March when he defeated Anthony Pettis by unanimous decision at UFC 185. It was his fourth straight victory and he defeated Cerrone by decision at UFC Fight Night 27. Cerrone (28-6, 1NC) has won eight fights in a row since losing to Dos Anjos in 2013. His most recent win came in May against John Makdessi at UFC 187 and he is 3-0 in 2015.
