The UFC’s upcoming card in Fortaleza, Brazil has received one of that nation’s biggest stars, as “Shogun” Rua will take on Gian Villante. The fight will be part of UFC Fight Night 107.

Rua (24-10) is coming off consecutive wins over Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Corey Anderson, after he was stopped by Ovince Saint Preux and Dan Henderson in back-to-back bouts.

Villante (15-7) stopped Saparbek Safarov in his last outing, which followed a decision loss to Ilir Latifi.

UFC FN 107 will be headlined by a middleweight fight between Vitor Belfort and Kelvin Gastelum.
