A welterweight fight between Santiago Ponzinibbio and Lorenz Larkin is headed to "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 4" Finale on June 27, according to a report from Combate in Brazil.
Larkin, a former light heavyweight competitor, dropped to welterweight for his last fight, and snapped a three fight losing streak when he stopped John Howard in the first round. That bounced him back from losses to Brad Tavares, Costas Philippou, and Derek Brunson at middleweight.
Ponzinibbio made it to the finals of "TUF: Brazil 2," but injury kept him off the Finale card. He has won two of three fights since joining the UFC roster, most recently defeating Sean Strickland at UFC Fight Night 61.
The "TUF: Brazil 4" Finale will air live on Fox Sports 1, and is expected to be headlined by a welterweight bout between Erick Silva and Rick Story.
