Two light heavyweight sluggers are set to throw down in the main event of UFC Sao Paulo in September, with Glover Teixeira and Jimi Manuwa scheduled for five rounds, the Ultimate Fighting Championship announced on Friday.

Both Teixeira (27-7) and Manuwa (17-4) are coming off of recent setbacks, with Manuwa on the heels of a disappointing two-fight losing streak and Teixeira dropping a decision to Corey Anderson last month.
