An intriguing welterweight bout is headed to Sao Paulo.
Neil Magny and Alex Oliveira are set to meet at UFC Fight Night 137 in September, Brazilian outlet Combate reported Thursday afternoon. UFC officials have yet to announce the news.
Magny (21-6) is coming off a first-round TKO win over newcomer Craig White at UFC Fight Night 130 in May. Prior to that, he alternated wins and losses in his previous four bouts. He holds recent victories over Carlos Condit and Johny Hendricks, plus losses to Rafael dos Anjos and Lorenz Larkin.
Oliveira (19-5-1), also known as “Cowboy,” last defeated former interim champ Condit via second-round submission in April.
