Rony Jason (13-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and Jeremy Stephens (21-9 MMA, 8-8 UFC) will indeed fight in Brazil, it will just take place one month later than was originally anticipated.

UFC officials today announced both Jason and Stephens have verbally agreed to meet at UFC Fight Night 32, which takes place Nov. 9 at Goiania Arena in Goiania, Goias, Brazil. Vitor Belfort and Dan Henderson meet in the evening’s headliner.

Jason and Stephens were expected to meet at October’s UFC Fight Night 29 card, but the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) ruled Jason out of the fight due to a lumbar hernia. Shortly after, Stephens suffered an injury, as well, and the bout was scrapped.

Jason, a 29-year-old Brazilian, was the featherweight winner of the debut season of “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil.” He won that season’s tournament with a UFC 147 victory over Godofredo Pepey and has since registered two more official wins after earning stoppage victories over Mike Wilkinson and Sam Sicilia.

Stephens looks to return after a win in his featherweight debut in May, scoring a decision victory over Estevan Payan at UFC 160. That snapped a three-fight losing skid for “Lil’ Heathen,” who had fallen short against Yves Edwards, Donald Cerrone and Anthony Pettis.

UFC officials also confirmed a number of previously reported contests for “UFC Fight Night 32: Belfort vs. Henderson,” including Godofredo Pepey vs. Sam Sicilia, Quinn Mulhern vs. Thiago Tavares and Daron Cruickshank vs. Adriano Martins.

With the additions to the lineup, UFC Fight Night 32 now includes:

Vitor Belfort vs. Dan Henderson Cezar Ferreira vs. Daniel Sarafian Rafael Cavalcante vs. Igor Pokrajac Jose Maria vs. Dustin Ortiz Godofredo Pepey vs. Sam Sicilia Quinn Mulhern vs. Thiago Tavares Brandon Thatch vs. Paulo Thiago Daron Cruickshank vs. Adriano Martins Rony Jason vs. Jeremy Stephens Ryan LaFlare vs. Santiago Ponzinibbio Omari Akhmedov vs. Thiago Perpetuo
