Means gets rematch with Oliveira in Brazil after no-contest at UFC 207

Tim Means will have to settle his business with Alex Oliveira in enemy territory.

A rematch between the welterweights has been added to UFC Fight Night 106, scheduled for March 11 in Oliveira's native Brazil. Means and Oliveira first met at UFC 207 last month, only for the bout to be ruled a no-contest after he cracked a downed "Cowboy" with a pair of illegal knees that rendered him unable to continue and made the fight a no-contest.

"The Dirty Bird" had won six of seven and scored back-to-back second-round knockouts over Sabah Homasi and John Howard prior to the December bout.

The 28-year-old Oliveira takes a two-fight win streak of his own into the rematch, his last victory coming in the form of a third-round TKO of Will Brooks at UFC Fight Night 96 following a botched attempt at making 155 pounds.

A middleweight bout between Vitor Belfort and Kelvin Gastelum is set to headline the March event in Fortaleza.
