A heavyweight bout between UFC newcomers Luiz Henrique and Francis Ngannou is heading to UFC on Fox 17 in Orlando this December. The organization announced the bout this week.
Henrique enters the Octagon with an 8-1 record with one no contest through ten career fights. The Brazilian is riding a six-fight winning streak, most recently picking up his second career submission victory in July.
France's Ngannou brings a 5-1 record into the Octagon, having scored stoppages in each of his career victories. After fighting three times in 2014, he'll make just his second appearance of 2015 on this card.
The Dec. 19 event will be headlined by a UFC Lightweight Title bout between Rafael dos Anjos and Donald Cerrone.
