The UFC this Saturday announced a 12-fight card in Brazil for Jan. 19, though the shows city and venue are still to be determined and will be announced soon. The four-fight main card is should air on either FX or FUEL TV.
Final fight of the night will be a middleweight bout between recent light heavyweight title challenger and former middleweight title challenger Vitor Belfort (21-10 MMA, 10-6 UFC) and Michael Bisping (23-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC).
