Former teammates at Brazilian Top Team, Rousimar Palhares and Alexandre “Cacareco” Ferreira are in talks to meet at UFC on Versus 3, on March 3^rd. According to sources close to the situation, the fight is already agreed, and the contract will be signed soon.

The bout will bring back the long-time rivalry between Chute Boxe and BTT, teams that fought for a long time especially at Pride FC. Two of the best grapplers of the world, the Brazilians face a tough situation inside the organization: Palhares comes from a TKO loss against Nate Marquardt, and Ferreira lost in his UFC debut against veteran Vladmir Matyushenko, before deciding to move down to middleweight division.
