A bout between Jose Aldo and Marlon Moraes is set for UFC 245 on Dec. 14 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, UFC president Dana White confirmed to ESPN's Brett Okamoto.
Aldo, 33, will be making his bantamweight debut. The Brazilian is a former featherweight champion. For his career, Aldo owns a 33-5 record with 17 knockouts.
Moraes said in early October that he would be "more than happy" to welcome Aldo to the bantamweight division.
Aldo's fellow Brazilian is 22-6-1 with 10 knockouts. He most recently lost at UFC 238 in the bantamweight championship against Henry Cejudo.
