The main event of UFC Fight Night 231 is set, and the headliners Jailton Almeida and Derrick Lewis had one final staredown at ceremonial weigh-ins.
Almeida (19-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) enters his second consecutive main event spot, taking on former title challenger Lewis (27-11 MMA, 18-9 UFC) at the event which takes place Saturday at Ginasio Do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo. The event streams on ESPN+.

Lewis, who challenged for the heavyweight title in 2018, has seen his ups and downs since then. In his last outing, he took out Marcos Rogerio de Lima with a flying knee in just 33 seconds.
Check out their final faceoff at the ceremonial weigh-ins in the video above
