Junior dos Santos' return is official, as he'll headline the UFC on Fox 13 event against Stipe Miocic this December.
The UFC confirmed the matchup on Friday night - which had been reported as a possibility recently - and it will serve as the five round headliner on Dec. 13.
Dos Santos returns for the first time since his second loss to Cain Velasquez last October, as injury kept him out of the first scheduled bout with Miocic in May. With dos Santos out of that bout, Miocic defeated late replacement Fabio Maldonado.
The event is the UFC's first in Arizona, and this fight is one of three heavyweight fights likely for the main card on Fox.
