Sean Brady and Michel Pereira will meet in the octagon Saturday, March 25 for the UFC Fight Night event in San Antonio.
The welterweight matchup is the latest addition to the five confirmed slugfests on the San Antonio card, announced earlier this month. While the UFC hasn't confirmed the bout, MMA journalist Damon Martin shared details on Twitter two days ago.
Confirmation also came from Pereira in a recent interview with a Brazilian media outlet PVT, and Brady also shared the news via Instagram.
