Junior dos Santos, a heavyweight title contender, will face The Ultimate Fighter 10 winner Roy Nelson at UFC 117 on August 7 in Oakland, California.

Dos Santos (11-1) is coming off fight straight wins. His last win was over Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC on Versus 1 in March and it also earned “Knockout of the Night.”

Nelson (15-4) is coming off two straight knockout wins. Belson was originally expected to face Cheick Kongo at UFC 116 in July, but the bout was scratched as Kongo is recovering from a back injury.

Clay Guida vs. Rafael dos Anjos has also been added to UFC 117.
