Not long after Mauricio Rua was pulled from his UFC on FOX 19 showdown against Rashad Evans, thanks to a pesky knee injury that left him unable to compete, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) rebooked him for a light heavyweight showdown against Corey Anderson.
They'll throw hands at the upcoming UFC 198: "Werdum vs. Miocic" pay-per-view (PPV) event, which takes place inside Arena da Baixada stadium in Curitiba, Brazil, on May 14, 2016.
Rua (23-10) recently rebounded from back-to-back knockout losses to Dan Henderson and Ovince Saint Preux by outpointing fellow aging veteran Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.
