Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos will return to action later this summer.
JDS vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik has been verbally agreed to for UFC 252 on Aug. 15, sources told ESPN. Combate first reported the fight.
Dos Santos (21-7) will look to snap a two-fight losing streak. He most recently lost to Curtis Blaydes via TKO in January.
Rozenstruik (10-1) just suffered his first pro loss when he got knocked out last month by Francis Ngannou in just 20 seconds. Prior to that, the Surinamese fighter won his first four UFC fights.
Stipe Miocic vs. Daniel Cormier for heavyweight title will serve as the main event. The UFC has yet to finalize where the event will take place.
