According to MMA Weekly Thiago Alves will fight at UFC 111 in Newark, New Jersey against an unnamed opponent.
Thiago Alves hasn't fought since UFC 100 where he was defeated by Georges St. Pierre. After the loss Thiago was scheduled to fight Paulo Thiago but Alves was tapped to replace an injured Ricardo Almeida who was suppose to fight Jon Fitch. Unfortunately Alves suffered a PCL tear prior to the Fitch fight and was forced to withdraw.
Perhaps the UFC will attempt to reschedule the Fitch-Alves fight. Another option is to have Thiago fight Ricardo Almeida who is also expected to be on the New Jersey fight card.
UFC 111 will be headlined with a welterweight title fight between current champion Georges St. Pierre and Dan Hardy.
Rumored card after the jump.
- Champion Georges St. Pierre vs. Dan Hardy
- Thiago Alves vs. TBA
- Ricardo Almeida vs. TBA
- Frankie Edgar vs. TBA
