Curtis Blaydes vs. Derrick Lewis set to headline UFC event on Nov. 28

A major heavyweight fight has been booked.

On Tuesday, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie after an initial report by ESPN. The person asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.

Blaydes (14-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) and Lewis (24-7 MMA, 15-5 UFC) have never fought one another, but they have history. The two big men have engaged trash talk through the media in recent months.

As for Lewis, “The Black Beast” is riding a three-fight winning streak with victories over Aleksei Oleinik, Ilir Latifi, and Blagoy Ivanov.
