The UFC returns to Brazil with a middleweight clash that has UFC title implications written all over it. The event will also feature some of the best Brazilian prospects like Daniel Sarafian and Edson Barboza as well. If Bisping can defeat Belfort, Dana White has let it be known that Bisping will earn an UFC title shot.
The evening's co-main event will feature Sarafian taking on former TUF finalist C.B. Dollaway. Sarafian looked very impressive during his time on TUF: Brazil and would've been competing in the finale had an injury not forced him out of the contest. Dollaway made it to the finals on his season of TUF but lost to Amir Sadollah on the finale.
Also featured is a heavyweight clash between Ben Rothwell and Gabriel Gonzaga. Rothwell is one of the most durable fighters in the sport and has shown a renewed interest in his MMA career. Gonzaga also seems to have found his desire to compete. After entering a brief retirement, Gonzaga has won two-straight fights.
