A fight between Viscardi Andrade and Andreas Stahl is headed to Florida next month at UFC Fight Night 70, according to a report from MMAFighting.com.
The fight was originally supposed to happen at UFC on Fox 12 last July, but Andrade was forced out after suffering multiple breaks in his right leg in training.
Andrade, who is 1-1 thus far in the UFC, returns to action for the first time in 16 months because of that injury, hoping to bounce back from a decision loss to Nico Musoke in his last outing. That loss snapped a seven-fight winning streak, which was capped off by a TKO win over Bristol Marunde in his UFC debut.
Stahl fights for the first time since that UFC on Fox 12 event last summer, which also served as his debut in the organization. He entered the Octagon with a 9-0 career record, but suffered a TKO loss to replacement Gilbert Burns on that card.
UFC Fight Night 70 hits Hollywood, Fla., on June 27, airing live on Fox Sports with a main event between Lyoto Machida and Yoel Romero.
