"Ultimate Fighter: Brazil" winner Cezar "Mutante" Ferreira will finally make his first appearance in the Octagon since winning his season last year, as SporTV reports that he'll take on TUF 17's Clint Hester at UFC 163 in Brazil.
After defeating Sergio Moraes in his UFC debut last June, Ferreira was supposed to return to action at UFC on FX 8 this month, but an injury took him out of the event. He brings a 5-2 career record into this fight.
Hester made a successful debut in April on the finale card for his season of the reality show, defeating season 16's Bristol Marunde with a third round knockout. That moved him to 8-3 overall in his career.
UFC 163 takes place from Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 3, headlined by the UFC Featherweight Championship bout between Jose Aldo and Anthony Pettis.
