Francis Ngannou won’t be fighting for the heavyweight title just yet, as the rising fighter’s been booked to face Alistair Overeem at UFC 218.

Recently the promotion announced that the two will fight at the December 2nd card, which will take place in Detroit, Michigan.

Ngannou (11-1) has gone 5-0 to date in the UFC, and has finished every opponent he’s faced, including former champ Andrei Arlovski.

Overeem (43-15) is coming off victories over Fabricio Werdum and Mark Hunt, after being stopped by current champ Stipe Miocic.

UFC 218 will be hosted by the Little Caesers Arena.
