Swede Alexander Gustafasson was injured and will no longer face the Brazilian Rogério Minotouro in the main fight of UFC Sao Paulo, an event that takes place on November 19th, at the Ibiraquera gym. The one who replaces him is the North American Ryan bader, currently number 4 in the heavyweight rankings. The information comes from journalist Ariel Helwani, from the North American website “MMA Fighting”.

The fight will be a rematch between the two, who already faced each other at UFC 119, in 2010. On that occasion, Bader defeated Minotouro in a unanimous decision by the judges. At 40 years old, Rogério is coming off a victory over Patrick Cummins at UFC 198, in May, in Curitiba (PR). Before that, he had lost two in a row, to Anthony Johnson e Mauritius Shogun. In the UFC, there are five positive results and four negative results.

Bader also won in his last appearance, at the beginning of September (03), at UFC Fight Night 93, when he knocked out Ryan bader. Winner of TUF 8, Ryan can be considered an Ultimate veteran, despite being only 33 years old. In total, there are 19 fights, with 14 wins and five losses.
