The general manager of the UFC in Brazil, Giovani Decker announced on Thursday that longtime UFC veterans Clay Guida and Thiago Tavares will fight at the UFC Fight Night 77 event.

Tavares (19-6-1) is also 3-2 in his last five bouts but is 2-1 in his last three bouts. He ripped off two straight first-round rear-naked choke victories over Justin Salas and Robbie Peralta, but in his last bout he lost to Brian Ortega at UFC Fight Night 68 by first-round knockout.
