The lineup for the UFC’s return to Brazil continues to build with the addition of four new fights.

Chief among the bookings for UFC Fight Night 137 is a welterweight bout between Neil Magny (21-6 MMA, 14-5 UFC) and Alex Oliveira (19-4-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC). Also set for UFC Fight Night 137 is a women’s bantamweight bout between Tonya Evinger (19-6 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and Ketlen Vieira (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC), Sergio Moraes (13-3-1 MMA, 7-2-1 UFC) vs. Ben Saunders (22-9-2 MMA, 10-6 UFC) at welterweight, and Mark Godbeer (13-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC) vs. Luis Henrique (10-4 MMA, 2-3 UFC) at light heavyweight.

UFC officials recently announced the new bookings nad made official five other previously reported bouts, including a light heavyweight fight between Sam Alvey and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

UFC Fight Night 137 takes place Sept. 22 at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo. The event airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

Magny has back-to-back wins following a submission loss to former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 215 this past September. At UFC 219 a few months later, he took a unanimous decision from former interim champion Carlos Condit. In May, he knocked out Craig White at UFC Fight Night 130 in England. He has three wins in his past four fights and six in his past eight.

Oliveira got back on track in April with a bonus-winning submission of Condit at UFC on FOX 29. The victory gave him five wins in his past six fights. He needed to rebound from a “Fight of the Night” loss to Yancy Medeiros this past December at UFC 218 and did so with arguably the biggest win of his career.

With the additions, the latest UFC Fight Night 137 lineup now includes:

Sam Alvey vs. Rogerio Nogueira

Tonya Evinger vs. Ketlen Vieira

Neil Magny vs. Alex Oliveira

Sergio Moraes vs. Ben Saunders

Belal Muhammad vs. Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos
