UFC middleweight knockout artists Alex Pereira and Bruno Silva are set to collide at a yet-to-be-announced UFC Fight Night event on March 12.
Combate's Marcelo Barone and Raphael Marinho were the first to report the news of the matchup, but the promotion itself has yet to confirm anything. Pereira is a former two-division Glory kickboxing champion and is 4-1 as a pro mixed martial artist, winning his UFC debut against Andreas Michailidis via a second-round TKO back at UFC 268 in his latest outing. Silva meanwhile is currently riding a seven-fight winning streak and is coming off of a first-round TKO victory over Jordan Wright at UFC 269
