A featherweight bout between Godofredo Pepey (9-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) and Sam Sicilia (11-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) is the latest bout targeted for November’s UFC Fight Night 32 event.
The bout, first reported by Globo, hasn’t officially been announced by the UFC.
UFC Fight Night 32 takes place Nov. 9 at Goiania Arena in Goiania, Goias, Brazil. FOX Sports 1 is expected to air the bulk of the card following Facebook prelims, though it’s not clear where Pepey vs. Sicilia will be placed on the lineup.
Pepey and Sicilia initially were slated to fight earlier this month at UFC Fight Night 28, but both fighters ultimately pulled out of the event due to injuries. Pepey most recently suffered a TKO loss to Felipe Arantes.

Sicilia also could be on the chopping block following his recent losses to Rony Mariano Bezerra and Maximo Blanco. The “TUF 15? cast member and former lightweight won his first UFC fight via knockout of Cristiano Marcello, which moved his his previous winning streak to seven. However, he’s 0-2 since then.
