UFC Fight Night 100 on November 19, 2016 at Ginásio do Ibiraquera in São Paulo, Brazil had been headlined by Alexander Gustafson vs. Antonio ‘Little Nog’ Rogerio Nogueira. The Mauler was unfortunately injured, and Ryan Bader has stepped in.
Bader has won six of his last seven fights, most recently a KO of Ilir Latifi at the UFC Fight Night 93 on September 3. Nogueira has won just three of his last seven, but most recently defeated Patrick Cummins via strikes at UFC 198 on May 14, 2016.
The fight will be a rematch; Bader won a unanimous decision at their first fight at UFC 119 back in 2010.
Gustafson’s management sent Chamatkar Sandhu an explanation of what pulled the fighter from UFC Fight Night 100.
