UFC 211’s much-anticipated pay-per-view (PPV) event is scheduled for May 13 at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) officials had released the artwork for the stacked card in Texas, but retracted the Tweet soon after. Polish strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk later released the poster via her own social media channels.
UFC 211 features a number of exciting fights, which will culminate in a heavyweight title contest between incumbent champion Stipe Miocic and challenger Junior dos Santos. Joanna Jedrzejczyk looks to extend the run of defences of her strawweight title against Jessica Andrade.
