Story, after dropping a close loss to Kelvin Gastelum early last year, is now riding a two-fight winning streak. He rebounded with a submission over Leonardo Mafra at UFC Fight Night 45 last summer, and then picked up a surprising upset over the previously undefeated Gunnar Nelson.

Silva is riding his first two-fight winning streak in the promotion, with stoppage wins over Mike Rhodes and Josh Koscheck, both in Brazil. Prior to that, he suffered a loss to top welterweight Matt Brown.

The TUF: Brazil 4 takes place from Ginásio do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo, Brazil on June 27.
