A middleweight bout between former champion Anderson Silva and Uriah Hall has been added to UFC 198 on May 14 in Curitiba, Brazil.

UFC officials announced the pairing on Thursday. The 185-pound contest joins a stacked pay-per-view lineup, which is set to take place at the 42,000-seat Arena de Baixada.

It's a quick turnaround for Silva (33-7), who is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Michael Bisping on Feb. 27. The five-round bout, which was held in London, featured an odd twist when Silva dropped Bisping with a flying knee in the final seconds of the third round. Silva thought the fight had been stopped via TKO and climbed on top of the Octagon to celebrate. He eventually returned to his corner, and the bout continued.

Silva, who turns 41 next month, does not have an official win since October 2012. Once the longtime middleweight king, Silva is 0-3 in his last four fights, with one no-contest. He initially defeated Nick Diaz via decision in January 2015, but that result was changed after Silva tested positive for multiple banned substances.

UFC 198 will mark his first appearance in Brazil since his last win against Stephan Bonnar more than three years ago.

Hall (12-6), 31, is coming off a decision loss to Robert Whittaker at UFC 193 in November. A former runner-up on "The Ultimate Fighter" reality series, Hall has been brilliant at times in his UFC career but has occasionally disappointed, losing to John Howard and Rafael Natal as a comfortable betting favorite.

Hall's biggest win in the Octagon came against Gegard Mousasi via TKO in September.

A heavyweight championship fight between Fabricio Werdum (20-5-1) and Stipe Miocic (14-2) will headline UFC 198. A middleweight feature between Vitor Belfort (25-11) and Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza (22-4) is also on the lineup.
