Patrick Cummins vs. Rafael Cavalcante set for UFC 190

The UFC's August card in Brazil is starting to take shape. We already knew that Ronda Rousey would be defending her title there, and that the Nogueira brothers would be competing. Today, an interesting light heavyweight battle also featuring a Brazilian was added to the event with Patrick Cummins facing off with Rafael Cavalcante. The bout was confirmed by Globo.

Cummins (7-2, 3-2 UFC) had a three-fight winning streak stopped at the hands of Ovince St. Preux last month at UFC on Fox 15. The bout will be his fifth in just 14 months.
