A light heavyweight duel between Patrick Cummins and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and a welterweight tilt pitting Warlley Alves against Bryan Barberena have been booked for the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s May 14 event in Brazil.

The Las Vegas-based promotion confirmed the matchups on Tuesday. Currently labeled UFC Fight Night, the card also features a middleweight clash between Vitor Belfort and Ronaldo Souza. The venue and city have yet to be announced, and the event is rumored to eventually become UFC 198.

Cummins enters the bout having lost two of his last three Octagon appearances.
