Pedro Munhoz returns against Jimmie Rivera after bizarre drug suspension

The UFC has added a bantamweight bout to the upcoming Fight Night event in Brazil.

Headlined by Vitor Belfort vs. Dan Henderson 3 at the Ibirapuera gymnasium in Sao Paulo, UFC Fight Night 77 will feature Pedro Munhoz vs. Jimmie Rivera in the preliminary portion of the card.

Munhoz (12-1) looks for his third straight victory inside the Octagon after scoring back-to-back first-round knockouts over Jerrod Sanders and Matt Hobar, while TUF 14 alum Rivera (17-1) tries to go 2-0 under the UFC banner after stopping Marcus Brimage in 89 seconds in July.
