UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Whittaker

UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Whittaker (also known as UFC Fight Night 119) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship held on October 28, 2017 at Ginásio do Ibirapuera in São Paulo, Brazil.

Background
A middleweight bout between Vitor Belfort and Robert Whittaker is expected to headline this event.

A light heavyweight bout between former title challenger Glover Teixeira and Misha Cirkunov was expected to take place at this event, but was delayed and moved to UFC on Fox 26 after a recent hand surgery for Teixeira was slow to heal.

Promotional newcomer Carlos Felipe was flagged for a potential USADA violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected July 29. Therefore he was pulled from his UFC debut against Christian Colombo. He was replaced by fellow promotional newcomer Marcelo Golm.
