UFC heavyweight contenders Curtis Blaydes and Jailton Almeida are set to headline the Octagon's return to São Paulo, Brazil on November 4.
MMA Junkie's Mike Bohn and Nolan King were the first to report the news of the matchup being in the works on Thursday, although the promotion itself has yet to officially announce anything regarding the bout or event. Blaydes is 3-2 in his last five fights and is coming off a first-round TKO loss to, Sergei Pavlovich, at UFC Vegas 71 back in April. Almeida meanwhile is undefeated in his six promotional bouts at 6-0 and will try to build off a first-round submission victory over, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, at UFC on ABC 4 last month.
