6'7" Brazilian heavyweight Ednaldo Oliveira will make his UFC debut this January in his home country at UFC 142, and a report from ESPN UK says he'll be meeting Rob Broughton on the card.
Oliveira is a training partner of new UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos, and enters the UFC with an undefeated 13-0-1 record. Oliveira has fought six times in 2011, and holds eight career knockout wins.
Broughton has lost consecutive fights in the UFC, and will get a chance to keep his roster spot in this fight. After winning his UFC debut at UFC 120 last year, Broughton dropped fights to Travis Browne and Philip De Fries this fall.
