Just a few days ago, it was reported that Brazilian submission machine, Rousimar Palhares, had requested and been granted a spot on the card for UFC 134 in Rio de Janeiro this August. Now, he has an opponent in fellow leglock specialist, Alexandre Ferreira, a middleweight bout that was originally supposed to take place back in March until "Cacareco" dropped out. Portal do Vale Tudo reports the booking:


Sources have informed PVT that Rousimar Palhares will fight Alexandre Cacareco at UFC Rio on August 27th at the HSBC Arena. Contracts for the bout are being signed.​

"Cacareco" was the original leg-mangler out of Brazilian Top Team before he moved to Chute Boxe, so in addition to being an intriguing clash of two powerful grapplers, this bou may also carry a BTT vs. Chute Boxe story line, although recent rumors have suggested that Cacareco has parted ways with Chute Boxe.
