According to Marcos Rogerio de Lima, he’ll be part of UFC 205 this November against New York’s own Gian Villante.

The event takes place November 12 from Madison Square Garden in New York City. The state lifted the MMA ban earlier this year, clearing the way for the Octagon to set up shop there.

De Lima (14-3-1) has won three of his four UFC fights including a recent first round submission of Clint Hester. The Brazilian was a semifinalist in the heavyweight division on The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3.

Villante (14-7), meanwhile, sports a 4-4 record inside the Octagon. One of his training partners, Chris Weidman, is expected to meet Yoel Romero in a middleweight title-eliminator on the card. He has alternated wins and losses over his last four, losing to Ilir Latifi in March.
