Francimar Barroso meets undefeated newcomer Darren Stewart at UFC Fight Night 100

An unbeaten light heavyweight prospect will make his Octagon debut in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as Darren Stewart takes on Francimar Barroso at UFC Fight Night 100 on Nov. 19, multiple sources told MMA Fighting.

Stewart (7-0) enters the UFC after scoring seven straight victories in England, finishing five of his opponents via knockout or technical knockout.

Barroso (18-5) returns to action after getting his light heavyweight bout with C.B. Dollaway scratched from UFC 203 following an elevator incident. In his last UFC fight, "Bodao" had a two-fight winning streak snapped by Nikita Krylov.
