A couple of exciting bouts have been added to the massive UFC 283 event that will take place at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Recently announced was a welterweight bout between Warlley Alves, who’s returning from a 18-month layoff to face Danish veteran Nicolas Dalby.
Dalby comes from a unanimous decision win against Cláudio Silva at UFC London on July 23, while Alves comes from a KO loss against Jeremiah Wells in June 2021.
Jailton Almeida’s third UFC fight in 2022
Also added to the Brazil card is a highly interesting heavyweight fight between Jailton Almeida and No. 15 ranked Shamil Abdurakhimov.
Brazilian prospect Almeida is 2-0 in the UFC, with two first-round submission wins during 2022, while Abdurakhimov rides a three-fight losing streak against tough heavyweights like Curtis Blaydes, Chris Daukaus and Sergei Pavlovich.
Swedish-Georgian lightweight Guram Kutateladze is set for his third octagon appearance as he faces Brazil’s Thiago Moises. This is quite a big fight for the lightweight division as the winner could quite possibly secure a spot in the top 15.
Already announced is the highly-anticipated flyweight title bout where the reigning champion Deiveson Figueiredo will settle the score in a rare quadrilogy fight against interim champ Brandon Moreno.
