Tonight the UFC made official the main event of UFC Fight Night 78 in Brazil, a rubber match between two legendary fights, Dan Henderson and Vitor Belfort:
The UFC will return to Brazil in November for a trilogy rematch between Vitor Belfort and Dan Henderson.
UFC President Dana White announced the main event for UFC Fight Night 78 at the post-event news conference for UFC 190, which took place Saturday at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro. The card will take place in Sao Paulo on Nov. 7.
Though no venue was announced, the UFC’s past two events in Sao Paulo, in 2014 and 2013, took place at Ibirapuera Gymnasium.
The two first fought in 2006, a decision win for Henderson at Pride 32 and later re-matched in 2013 in the UFC, which Belfort won by first round knockout.
