June's UFC on Fuel 10 card in Brazil continues to fill up, and the latest addition comes in the light heavyweight division. According to a report from Tatame.com, Brazil's Ronny Markes will take on Derek Brunson on the card.
The 24-year-old Markes holds a stellar record at 14-1, and has won seven straight fights into the event. That includes all three of his fights inside the Octagon, with all three victories coming by decision.
He'll now take on Brunson, who defeated longtime UFC vet Chris Leben in a very late notice UFC debut in December. Though it was a very uninspired fight, Brunson halted a two fight losing streak and defeated an established veteran on short notice.
UFC on Fuel 10 will be headlined by a heavyweight bout between "TUF: Brazil 2" coaches Fabricio Werdum and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
