Lyoto Machida vs. Yoel Romero set as new main event for TUF Brazil: 4 Finale in Miami

The UFC won’t be holding a card in Brazil in June.

The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 4 Finale, officially announced for June 27 in Sao Paulo, was moved to Miami, Fla., and it has a new main event. Former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida will take on Yoel Romero in a five-round middleweight contest.

MMAFighting.com confirmed the changes with sources close to the situation following a report by Combate.

Romero (9-1) hasn’t fought since a third-round knockout victory over Tim Kennedy in September. Since signing with the UFC in 2013, the American Top Team fighter cut down to 185 pounds and went 5-0 with four stoppages.
