A middleweight clash between Vitor Miranda and Marcelo Guimaraes is set for UFC 197.
The promotion announced the pairing on Tuesday. UFC 197 takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on March 5 and is headlined by a lightweight championship clash between Rafael dos Anjos and Conor McGregor.
Miranda fought at heavyweight on “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3” and lost a unanimous decision to Antonio Carlos Jr. at the show’s finale. He has since rebounded to post back-to-back technical knockout triumphs against Jake Collier and Clint Hester in his last two Octagon appearances.
