A fan-favorite meets a rising star with Derrick Lewis taking on Jailton Almeida in a heavyweight collision to close out UFC Fight Night 231 from São Paulo, Brazil.
The featured heavyweight bout was supposed to feature Curtis Blaydes taking on the rising Brazilian, but he withdrew from the bout and Derrick Lewis stepped up. It creates a whole new dynamic as Almeida was going to have to deal with Blaydes' wrestling but will now be in for a completely different fight
The co-main event features another Brazilian who is rising through the ranks. Gabriel Bonfm has stormed onto the scene with two first-round submissions to kick off his UFC career.
