A heavyweight bout pitting Jairzinho Rozenstruik against Chris Daukaus has been moved to UFC 282.

The fight was originally scheduled for UFC Fight Night 211 on Oct. 1 but was shifted for undisclosed reasons. MMAjunkie.com was first to report the news. UFC 282 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Dec. 10 and is expected to feature a light heavyweight championship rematch between Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira.

Rozenstruik has lost three of his last four Octagon appearances, falling to Alexander Volkov, Curtis Blaydes and Ciryl Gane during that stretch. The Suriname native began his professional career with 10 consecutive victories. His resume includes KO/TKO triumphs over the likes of Alistair Overeem, Andrei Arlovski, Junior dos Santos and Augusto Sakai.

Daukaus, meanwhile, is looking to get back on track after suffering back-to-back KO/TKO defeats against Derrick Lewis and Blaydes. Prior to that, the Philadelphia native authored a five-bout winning streak that included finishes of Shamil Abdurakhimov, Alexey Oleynik, Rodrigo Nascimento and Parker Porter in the Octagon.
