The UFC already has in mind what the main fight of UFC Fight Night 100 will be, an event that will take place on November 19th, at the Ibirapuera gym, in São Paulo. The organization's plans are to schedule a light heavyweight duel between Rogério Minotouro e Alexander Gustafson.

The information was released on the website of the “Combate” channel. Minotouro, 40 years old, is coming off a victory over Patrick Cummins at UFC 198, in May, in Curitiba (PR). Before that, the twin brother of Rodrigo Minotauro had lost two in a row, to Anthony Johnson e Mauritius Shogun.

Gustafsson, 29, challenged for the division's belt twice, but was defeated both times: he lost to Jon Jones, in 2013, and for Daniel Cormier, in 2015. However, the Swede has a positive result in his most recent fight, against Jan Blachowicz, at UFC Hamburg.

The UFC has already planned to match the duel between Minotouro and Gustafsson twice in the past. In both cases, however, the fight was not carried out due to the Brazilian's injury. To date, no fights have been made official for UFC Fight Night 100.
