Renan Barao and Douglas Silva de Andrade will both move up to featherweight for a matchup at UFC Fight Night 164 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Combate was first to report the news. UFC Fight Night 164 goes down on Nov. 16 and is headlined by a light heavyweight bout between Jan Blachowicz and Ronaldo Souza.
Barao, the former UFC bantamweight champion, is on a four-fight losing streak and has lost six of his past seven. His last win came over Phillipe Nover in 2016. During his current skid, he has dropped fights against the likes of Aljamain Sterling, Brian Kelleher, Andre Ewell and Luke Sanders. He has also missed weight twice, which prompted the move up a weight class.
Silva de Andrade, meanwhile, will move up to featherweight following a TKO loss to Petr Yan at UFC 232. Before that, the Brazilian beat Marlon Vera by decision at UFC Fight Night 125. He is 3-3 in the UFC, a record that also includes victories over Cody Gibson and Enrique Briones.
