A light heavyweight division affair is slated for UFC Fight Night Sao Paulo 2018 according to Jim Edwards of MMA NYTT as Mark Godbeer faces Luis Henrique.
Godbeer (13-4-0) is going to be making his light heavyweight division debut in this fight, having spent an entire eight-plus year MMA career competing at heavyweight. Godbeer has won two of four under the UFC banner, defeating the duo of Walt Harris and Daniel Spitz. Godbeer also competed once in Bellator MMA, suffering a defeat to UFC veteran Cheick Kongo by second round TKO at Bellator 102.

Henrique has seen just one of his five bouts in the UFC go the distance and that came against Arjan Singh Bhullar at UFC 215.
