As expected UFC 198, which features a heavyweight title fight, will take place in the Brazilian city of Curitiba, officials today announced.

The long-rumored card, formally “UFC 198: Werdum vs. Miocic,” takes place May 14 at the 40,000-seat Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil.

The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

As previously reported, champion Fabricio Werdum (20-5-1 MMA, 8-2 UFC), who’s No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA heavyweight rankings, takes on No. 3 Stipe Miocic (14-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) in the headliner. Werdum initially was slated to rematch Cain Velasquez, who pulled out of a planned February bout with an injury. The champ, who looks for his first title fight, instead takes on Miocic, who’s knocked out Mark Hunt and Andrei Arlovski in his two most recent bouts.

In the co-headliner, former champ Vitor Belfort (25-11 MMA, 14-7 UFC), who’s ranked No. 5 at middleweight, takes on No. 4-ranked Ronaldo Souza (22-4 MMA, 5-1 UFC).
