Rafaello "Tractor" Oliveira has accepted the fight against Winner for a bout that will take place on the UFC Fight Night 21 show leading into the newest season of "The "Ultimate Fighter."
The bout was confirmed to MMAWeekly.com by sources close to the fight on Friday.
Following a loss in his UFC debut, Oliveira (10-2) bounced back strong in his next fight picking up a unanimous decision win over John Gunderson at UFC 108 in January.
The Brazilian has been training alongside UFC fighters, Jim and Dan Miller, at AMA Fight Club and will make his 3rd appearance in the Octagon with the March fight.
Andre Winner, the runner-up from the ninth season of the "Ultimate Fighter" show, came back strong in his first fight after the finale when he dispatched of Roli Delgado by knockout last November.
The fight between Oliveira and Winner will remain on the undercard for the event set to take place in Charlotte, N.C., on March 31.
