Brazilian knockout artists Alex Pereira and Bruno Silva are expected to throw down in March. Pereira (4-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Silva (22-6 MMA, 3-0 UFC) have verbally agreed to met at a UFC Fight Night event on March 12 , which doesn’t yet have a publicly known venue or location. Bout agreements have yet to be finalized. Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the targeted booking but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Combate first reported the news. Highly touted Pereira, who knocked out UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in kickboxing, lived up to the hype in his promotional debut.
