The Ultimate Fighting Championship continues to book fights for its summer schedule, and recently the promotion confirmed two more bouts for upcoming cards in Brazil.

At UFC 190 on August 1st, heavyweight Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva will battle Soa “The Hulk” Palelei.

Silva (18-7-1) is looking to get back on track after he’s been knocked out in consecutive fights to Andrei Arlovski and Frank Mir.

Palelei (22-4), meanwhile, is coming off a stoppage win over Walt Harris in November, after he was decisioned by Jared Rosholt last June.

UFC 190 will be hosted by the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro.

At the Brazil TUF 4 Finale on June 27th, the UFC has confirmed that Lorenz Larkin will take on Santiago Ponzinibbio.

Larkin (15-4-1) stopped John Howard in January to end a three fight losing skid.

Ponzinibbio (20-2), meanwhile, decisioned Sean Strickland in February, after knocking out Wendell de Oliveira Marques in September.

The Brazil TUF 4 Finale will take place in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
