UFC 139 is scheduled to take place on November 19th, in San Jose, and the show promises to rock the Californian city. In addition to the heavyweight belt dispute, where Cain Velazquez defends his reign against the Brazilian junior gypsy, the fight program features a 100% Brazilian duel.

In his last fight, Gleison submitted compatriot Rafaello “Trator” at UFC 130.
