Glover Teixeira vs. Misha Cirkunov booked for UFC Fight Night 119 in Sao Paulo

A pair of top-10 light heavyweights will face off when the UFC returns to Sao Paulo, Brazil.

During Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 114 broadcast in Mexico City, the promotion announced that one-time world title challenger Glover Teixeira will face fellow contender Misha Cirkunov at an event scheduled to be UFC Fight Night 119 at the Ginasio do Ibirapuera on Oct. 28.

Both fighters are coming off losses. Teixeira suffered a fifth-round knockout at the hands of Alexander Gustafsson this past May, while Cirkunov was on the wrong end of a 28-second KO when he fought Volkan Oezdemir at the same event.
