Francisco Trinaldo vs. Diego Ferreira targeted for UFC 237 in Brazil

Another Brazil vs. Brazil match has been added to UFC 237 in Rio de Janeiro.

After dispatching Evan Dunham last September, Francisco Trinaldo will now take on Diego Ferreira at the upcoming pay-per-view show in the Marvelous City on May 11, multiple sources told MMA Fighting.

Trinaldo (23-6) stopped Dunham with a knee to the liver at UFC Sao Paulo, bouncing back from a decision loss to James Vick. The Evolucao Thai fighter won nine of his last 11 fights, including names like Paul Felder, Jim Miller and Yancy Medeiros.
