The UFC’s November trip to Brazil has added another fight, and a recently signed European middleweight prospect will try to make it two for two in the promotion.

Jack Hermansson (14-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) has been booked for a fight against Brazil’s Cezar Ferreira (10-5 MMA, 6-3 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 100, promotion officials today announced.

UFC Fight Night 100 takes place Nov. 19 at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The event airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass, though the bout order hasn’t been finalized.

Hermansson, a 28-year-old Swedish-Norwegian fighter, entered the UFC on an eight-fight winning streak, then took a unanimous decision from Scott Askham in September at UFC Fight Night 93. Before signing with the UFC, he made a successful Cage Warriors middleweight title defense with a TKO victory over Alan Carlos in April, then five weeks later made a quick return and knocked out Ireneusz Cholewa at Venator FC 3. Twelve of his 14 career wins have come by stoppage.

Ferreira has won back-to-back fights to get back on track after suffering consecutive knockout losses to Sam Alvey and Jorge Masvidal in 2015. The Masvidal fight was his debut at welterweight, but after the loss he returned to 185 pounds and took a unanimous decision from Oluwale Bamgbose at UFC on FOX 19 in April, then topped Anthony Smith at the TUF 23 Finale in July. The middleweight winner of the first season of “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil” now will go after three straight for the second time in his UFC tenure.
