The heavyweight division is heating up leading into summer, and No. 4-ranked contender Ben Rothwell and No. 5-ranked Junior Dos Santos will meet in the main event of UFC Fight Night 86.
This five-round affair will play a key role in deciding who is next in line for a shot at the coveted UFC championship.
Rothwell (36-9) is riding a four-fight win streak into battle with wins over Alistair Overeem and Josh Barnett. Things have not been as rosy for the former champion. Dos Santos (17-4) dropped his last bout to Overeem by TKO.
JDS needs a victory to get back into the title picture, but another victorious outing from Rothwell may garner him the title shot he has long been after. This is just the first bout in a string of important heavyweight tilts that will make the murky waters much more clear.
Who will come out on top in Zagreb, Croatia?
This is your look at the head-to-toe breakdown for Rothwell vs. JDS.
