UFC Minneapolis recently received a new main event, and now an updated poster for the June 29th card is out.
Francis Ngannou was originally booked to fight former heavyweight champ, Junior dos Santos at UFC 239, July 6th. But, after Tyron Woodley dropped out of his June 29th fight with Robbie Lawler due to injury, dos Santos – Ngannou was swapped in as the new main event.

Poster’s not bad right?
Ngannou (13-3) is coming off two, quick stoppage wins over Cain Velasquez and Curtis Blaydes, after dropping consecutive fights to Stipe Miocic and Derrick Lewis.
Dos Santos (21-5), meanwhile, has won three in a row. In his last outing, this past March, he stopped Lewis in round two.
