Breese confirmed the pairing via Instagram following an initial report from Combate. UFC Fight Night 140 takes place at Estadio Luna Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Nov. 17. A headliner for the card has not yet been revealed.
After nearly two years away, Breese returned to action at UFC Fight Night 130 in May, when he scored a first-round technical knockout of Daniel Kelly. The Englishman is 4-1 in the UFC, with his only defeat coming via split decision at the hands of Sean Strickland.
Ferreira has won five of his last six Octagon appearances. Most recently, “Mutante” submitted Karl Roberson in the opening round of their UFC 224 encounter on May 12.
