Esther Lin, MMA Fighting

Patrick Cummins will be making another trip to Brazil in May.

"Durkin", who fought three of his last four UFC bouts in the country, is slated to take on Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at the upcoming UFC event in Brazil on May 14, sources told MMAFighting.com. Combate first reported the news.

The UFC has yet to announce a city and venue for the show.

Cummins (8-3) fought for the first time in Brazil in 2014, defeating TUF Brazil heavyweight winner Antonio Carlos Jr. via decision. He returned to the country twice in 2015, defeating Rafael Cavalcante before losing to Glover Teixeira.

Nogueira (21-7) enters the fight coming off consecutive losses to Mauricio Rua and Anthony Johnson. The PRIDE veteran had his hand raised for the last time in 2013, when he defeated former champion Rashad Evans via decision.
