the duel between Ronaldo Jacare e Gegard Mousasi, which would be the co-main event of the canceled UFC 176, now has a new date to take place. The fight, valid in the middleweight category, was rescheduled for September 5th, at UFC Fight Night 58, in Ledyard (USA).

It is not yet known what the position of the fight will be on the card, which so far only has two other fights announced: Joe lauzon x Michael chiesa e André Fili x Sean Soriano. The event marks the return of Ultimate to the North American state of Connecticut after nine years, when the organization promoted UFC 55 in the city of Uncasville.

Ronaldo Jacare, 34 years old, has a professional record of 20 wins, three losses and one fight without result. Former champion of the now defunct Strikeforce, Jacaré has been undefeated since 2011 and has already won the three fights he had in the UFC. Already Gegard Mousasi, 28 years old, has a record of 35 wins, four defeats and two draws. The Armenian-Dutch has already beaten the Brazilian in a fight at the Japanese DREAM event, after hitting him with a pedal stroke – a blow considered illegal nowadays.
