Seven years the junior of his opponent, Miocic will also attempt to get back on track after coming up on the short end of a grueling, five-round decision against Junior dos Santos in December. The loss snapped the Ohioan’s three-fight winning streak which included victories over Roy Nelson, Gabriel Gonzaga and Fabio Maldonado.
This story was corrected at 10:08 p.m. ET. The event's date was previously stated as May 16, as opposed to May 10.
