A heavyweight matchup with title implications is headed to Dublin for UFC Fight Night 76.

Stipe Miocic (13-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) and Ben Rothwell (35-9 MMA, 5-3 UFC) will meet on the Oct. 24 card headlined by a lightweight matchup between Dustin Poirier and Joseph Duffy, multiple sources confirmed to MMAjunkie.

The sources requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the booking publicly.

UFC Fight Night 76 takes place at 3Arena in Dublin. The complete card is expected to stream on UFC Fight Pass.

Miocic is ranked No. 4 and Rothwell No. 7 in the latest NOS Energy Drink MMA heavyweight rankings.

Miocic was under consideration for a title shot as recently as June, when UFC President Dana White said the next challenger to current champ Fabricio Werdum’s crown would be Miocic or ex-champ Andrei Arlovski (24-10 MMA, 13-4 UFC).

But Arlovski was recently booked to face fellow ex-champ Frank Mir in September at UFC 191, leaving Miocic as the contender apparent – until now.

Miocic most recently put a beatdown on Mark Hunt in May at UFC Fight Night 65, which earned him consideration from White after a close decision loss to ex-champ Junior Dos Santos this past December.

Rothwell, meanwhile, is in the midst of career resurgence with three straight wins, all stoppages. Most recently, he submitted Matt Mitrione and gave a colorful post-fight speech, calling for a rematch with Arlovski, who stopped him via TKO in 2008 under the now-defunct Affliction banner.

With the addition, UFC Fight Night 76 now includes:
