The UFC Fight Night 28 event will take place on Wednesday night and will be headlined by the light heavyweight bout between rising contender Glover Teixeira and TUF 8 winner Ryan Bader. The card will take place in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, at the Mineirinho Arena.
Teixeira (21-2) is coming off a first round destruction of James Te Huna in his last outing at UFC 160. He has won four consecutive fights, including a unanimous decision win over former champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson in January.
Bader (14-3) is also coming off a quick first round win over Vladimir Matyushenko in his last outing at the UFC on FOX 6 event in January. Bader has won three of his last four and also has a unanimous decision win over Jackson during that time span.
