Cummins to face Cavalcante at UFC 190
Light heavyweights Patrick Cummins and Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante have been added to the UFC's return trip to Brazil in August.
Since losing his Octagon debut to current champion Daniel Cormier, Cummins has compiled a 3-1 record, racking up consecutive victories over Roger Narvaez, Kyle Kingsbury, and Antonio Carlos Jr., before losing via knockout to Ovince Saint Preux at UFC on FOX 15 in April.
A former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion, "Feijao" is 1-2 since joining the UFC in 2013, sandwiching a win against Igor Pokrajac between losses to Thiago Silva and Ryan Bader.
UFC 190 takes place on Aug. 1 at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, and features a women's bantamweight title clash between Ronda Rousey and Bethe Correia as the main event.
