A heavyweight clash has been added to the UFC's next event in Brazil.
According to MMAJunkie, Roy Nelson will face Antonio Silva at UFC Fight Night 95. Once in the mix as title contenders, the last few years have not been kind to either fighter, as Silva has just a single victory over his last seven bouts, while Nelson has one win in his last five.
Fights involving either vet are rarely dull affairs, with both likely to come out swinging in an effort to stay relevant, and in Silva's case, avoid the roster bubble. Nelson is coming off a split-decision loss to Derrick Lewis, while Silva last fought Stefan Struve in May. He was finished in 16 seconds.
The card will be headlined by a 140-pound women's catchweight bout between Cris 'Cyborg' Justino and Lina Lansberg.
UFC Fight Night 95 will take place on Sept. 24 in Brasilia, Brazil.
