Episode 3 - Glaico Franca vs. Fernando Bruno UFC 190The lightweight bouts on season 4 of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 4 were some of the most intense on the series, and the same is expected tonight when Fernando Bruno and Glaico Franca meet for the season title here in Rio de Janeiro. The final lightweight pick of original coach Anderson Silva, Team Nogueira's Fernando Bruno went on to earn a finals berth with victories over Jack Fernandes and Nazareno Malagarie, and with a win against Franca, the rising star from Rio de Janeiro can become the latest member of the Nova Uniao squad to make his impact in the UFC. Standing in the way of Fernando Bruno's dream of winning The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 4 title tonight is Team Shogun's Glaico Franca, a determined finisher from Santa Catarina who submitted Nikolas Motta and Joaquim 'Netto BJJ' Silva to get his own shot at making the UFC history books, and he's not going to let that opportunity pass him by.

Episode 4 - Reginaldo Vieira vs. Dileno Lopes UFC 190Two of Brazil's finest 135-pound fighters, Dileno Lopes and Reginaldo Viera battled it out against a hungry group of fellow prospects to make it here tonight, and when it's all over, only one of these young men will be left standing with the Ultimate Fighter Brazil title. When opportunity knocked on season four of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil, Sao Paulo's Reginaldo Vieira answered, and despite losing a quarterfinal bout to Matheus Nicolau, injuries to two teammates allowed Vieira to come back and beat Mattheus Mattos and Bruno Korea to earn his spot in tonight's bantamweight final. Nova Uniao standout Dileno Lopes took a more conventional route to the most important night of his career, with wins over Renato Monaco, Bruno Gustavo and Matheus Nicolau putting him one victory away from a UFC contract if he can defeat Reginaldo Vieira.

Episode 5 - Stefan Struve vs. Minotauro Nogueira UFC 190Fresh from a stint coaching The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 4, heavyweight legend "Minotauro" Nogueira gets back to his day job in his home country of Brazil when he faces off with Stefan Struve. Plagued by injuries in recent years, Brazilian icon Minotauro Nogueira now has a clean bill of health, and in his first fight since an April 2014 loss to Roy Nelson, he's eager to get back in the win column once more against the Netherlands' Struve. And to do it in front of his legion of fans gives the former UFC and PRIDE champion even more motivation. Winner of four of his last six bouts, the Netherlands' Stefan 'Skyscraper' Struve has always been one of the UFC's most popular heavyweights thanks to his all-action style and willingness to take the risks necessary to finish fights. And even with all his success thus far, a win over a superstar like Nogueira would be his crowning achievement.

Episode 6 - Antonio Silva vs. Soa Palelei UFC 190Though scheduled for three rounds, when heavyweight powerhouses Antonio 'Bigfoot' Silva and Soa 'The Hulk' Palelei collide, no one is expecting this clash of hard-hitting big men to get anywhere near the final bell, and that's just the way they like it. One of Australia's most popular fighters, veteran slugger Soa Palelei is a rarity in that he can match his opponent Antonio Silva in both size and strength. With that settled, this fight will likely come down to a battle of wills, and in that showdown, 'The Hulk' believes he simply wants it more. Despite a recent cold spell, victories over top UFC contenders Andrei Arlovski, Alistair Overeem and Travis Browne show that Brazil's own Antonio 'Bigfoot' Silva is just one win away from putting himself back in the title picture, and he expects to get that win here against Palelei.

Born in Mexico, but now making her home in Florida where she trains with the renowned American Top Team squad, the 33-year-old Aguilar, who is currently sporting a ten-fight winning streak, is a veteran of nearly a decade in the fight game, and owner of victories over the likes of Carla Esparza, Angela Magana and Megumi Fujii. Considered to be the one of the greatest hopes to bring another world title back to Brazil, Gadelha has won 12 of 13 pro bouts, with the only loss a razor-thin split decision at the hands of current champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Now looking to secure a rematch with the belt on the line, Gadelha must first spoil the UFC debut of Aguilar.

Episode 9 - Patrick Cummins vs. Rafael Cavalcante UFC 190After more than a year away from the Octagon, Brazilian star Rafael 'Feijao' Cavalcante is back in action and ready to begin his assault on the light heavyweight elite once more. Standing in his way is top 205-pound prospect Patrick Cummins, and a Fight of the Night candidate is expected. The only man to defeat Yoel Romero, Feijao also holds victories over Mo Lawal and Igor Pokrajac, making him a dangerous man on fight night. Former Penn State wrestler Cummins believes he has the kryptonite to Cavalcante's high-impact style, and after wins in three of his last four UFC bouts, it's hard to argue with him.

Looking to bounce back from an upset defeat at the hands of Frankie Saenz in February, Alcantara is intent on not letting Issa get his moment in the sun, so he's brought his entire skill set to Rio in order to get his hand raised once again.

Episode 12 - Vitor Miranda vs. Clint Hester UFC 190A finalist at heavyweight on season three of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil, Rio de Janeiro's Vitor Miranda took a big chance dropping two weight classes to middleweight last December, but that risk produced a big reward as he won Performance of the Night honors for his knockout of Jake Collier.
