A middleweight clash between Thiago Santos and Gerald Meerschaert was booked for UFC 213 in Las Vegas, sources told MMA Fighting following a report by Combate.
UFC 213 is scheduled for July 8 at the T-Mobile Arena as part of the promotion's International Fight Week.
Santos (14-5) returns to action less than five months after scoring a vicious knockout over Jack Marshman at UFC Fight Night 105. “Marreta" has competed twice for International Fight Week events, losing to Uriah Hall (2014) and Gegard Mousasi (2016).
