The UFC’s next card in Sao Paulo, Brazil, will feature a pivotal fight in the light-heavyweight division, as the promotion’s announced Glover Teixeira will take on Misha Cirkunov.

The bout will take place on October 28th at the Ginasio do Ibirapuera.

Teixeira (26-6) will be looking to get back on track, as he’s coming off a stoppage loss to fellow contender Alexander Gustafsson  in May.

Cirkunov (13-3), meanwhile, is looking to rebound from a quick, KO loss to Volkan Oezdemir, which took place the same night Gustafsson finished Teixeira.

Teixeira is currently ranked #4 in the 205 division and Cirkunov is sitting in the #9 spot.
