A bantamweight fight between Iuri Alcantara and Russell Doane is the latest addition to September's UFC Fight Night 51 event in Brasilia, Brazil, the UFC announced today.
Alcantara hopes to build upon a two-fight winning streak in 2014. The talented Brazilian fell short against Urijah Faber last August, but turned things back around this year with a decision win over Wilson Reis in February and a knockout win over Vaughan Lee in May.
Hawaii's Doane made a successful UFC debut in January with a submission win over Leandro Issa, and followed that up with a decision over Marcus Brimage this month at UFC 175.
UFC Fight Night 51 airs live on UFC Fight Pass on September 13, headlined by the heavyweight bout between Andrei Arlovski and Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva.
