The lone UFC 207 UFC Fight Pass bout ended in controversy, as it was deemed a no contest following illegal knees by Tim Means, but now he and Alex Oliveira are set to run it back.
Combate initially reported the bout, and MMAJunkie have recently confirmed it with Oliveira’s camp.
In the first bout, Means landed a pair of knees to the head of Oliveira while the Brazilian’s knee was on the mat. The Nevada State Athletic Commission ruled that the knees were illegal, but the foul was unintentional, therefore the bout was ruled a no contest.
Prior to the bout, both Means and Oliveira were riding two fight win streaks. Oliveira’s wins came against James Moontasri and Will Brooks while Means had victories over John Howard and Sabah Homasi.
UFC Fight Night 106 takes place live from the Centro de Formação Olímpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Brazil on March 11, 2017. The card is set to be headlined by a middleweight bout between Vitor Belfort and Kelvin Gastelum.
