On Sunday, a lightweight scrap between Edson Barboza (pictured) and Michael Johnson was announced for the UFC’s February 22 event in Brazil.
Barboza will be riding a two-fight winning streak into the tango. The Brazilian most recently posted a unanimous decision victory over Bobby Green in November.
Johnson, meanwhile, is perfect through his past three outings. “The Menace” has been out of action since taking a decision over former Blackzilian teammate Melvin Guillard in March.
Gigantinho Gymnasium in Porto Alegre, Brazil will host the festivities.
Fox Sports 1 is expected to broadcast the main card live in America.
Here is the show’s current lineup:
Wendell Oliveira vs. T.J. Waldburger
Ivan Jorge vs. Josh Shockley
Santiago Ponzinibbio vs. Sean Strickland
Matt Dwyer vs. William Macario
Rustam Khabilov vs. Adriano Martins
Sam Alvey vs. Cezar Ferreira
Edson Barboza vs. Michael Johnson
Rashad Evans vs. Glover Teixeira
