Jornal do Brasil reports that Vitor Belfort has been added to the September 12th Bitetti Combat event in Rio de Janeiro, in a bout against French journeyman Moise Rimbon. Paulo Filho was originally set to face Alex Schoenauer, but is now listed as fighting "Edwin Dweeze."
According to Tatame, a public event is scheduled for August 3rd where the fighters will be present and the governor of Rio will announce the complete card.
This is going to be an incredible show if all - or even most - of the scheduled fights actually happen:
