After their first, scheduled fight fell through last month, Rafael dos Anjos and Islam Makhachev are now going to fight in a five round, main event.

The two were supposed to fight at UFC 254 on October 24th, in a three round bout. But, the fight was cancelled when dos Anjos tested positive for COVID-19.

This weekend, however, the UFC confirmed that the lightweights are going to fight in the headliner of the November 14th, UFC Vegas 14 event.

Dos Anjos (29-13) is returning to the lightweight division after competing at welterweight since 2016. Most recently the former lightweight champ dropped a decision loss to Michael Chiesa in January.

Makhacheve (18-1) hasn’t fought since September, 2019, when he recorded a decision win over Davi Ramos.
