The UFC's first trip to Brazil in 13 years just got a little more interesting with the announcement of two more bouts to its lineup. Thiago Taveres is slated to face Spencer Fisher and Luis Cane is expected to meet Stanislav Nedkov. UFC 134 will take place August 27 from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and air live on pay-per-view.

Always entertaining, Spencer Fisher steps into the cage with his back against the wall in a must-win situation. He has lost three of his last four bouts, ending what was a three fight win streak from June 2008 to June 2009. His opponent, Thiago Taveres is 2-1-1 in his last four outings with wins over Manny Gamburyan and Pat Audinwood.

Undefeated light heavyweight Stanislav Nedkov will make his UFC debut at the event as he faces Luis Cane. Nedkov has 11 career wins, all stoppage victories with the exception of two decision wins. Cane is coming off a bounce-back win over Elliott Marshall at UFC 128 in March after losing two in a row, the first such streak in his career.

The event will be headlined by the long awaited rematch for the middleweight title between Anderson Silva and Yushin Okami. A light heavyweight rematch also fills the docket between Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Forrest Griffin.

The UFC's first and only trip to Brazil took place on Oct. 16, 1998 at "UFC Brazil: Ultimate Brazil." The event marked the first appearances of Pride superstar Wanderlei Silva and MMA veteran Pedro Rizzo.
