The UFC’s final event of 2016 will feature a rematch between two former heavyweight champs, as Cain Velasquez will take on Fabricio Werdum.

The promotion has announced that the fight will be part of UFC 207, which will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Velasquez (14-2) battled Werdum in June, 2014, and was submitted by the latter in the third round. Since then, Velasquez went on to quickly stop Travis Browne at UFC 200 in July.

Werdum (21-6-1) has fought two times since his win over Velasquez. In May, Werdum was KO’d by Stipe Miocic, before “Vai Cavalo” decisioned Browne in September.

UFC 207 will be headlined by a bantamweight fight between champion Amanda Nunes and Ronda Rousey.
