Brazilian welterweight “Jucao” Roan Carneiro (12-7) will meet “Piranha” Ryo Chonan (14-8) at the UFC’s September event in Atlanta, his manager, Alex Davis, told Tatame this week.
Carneiro was scheduled to face Chonan at UFC 85 in June, but Chonan withdrew due to injury.
“Jucao” was upset by Chonan’s replacement, UFC rookie Kevin Burns (6-1), who submitted him with a second-round triangle choke.
Chonan also lost his last match, a unanimous decision that went to “The Heat” Karo Parisyan (18-5) in November.
Chonan previously defeated Carneiro at a 2005 DEEP event.
