Bantamweight standout Bibiano Fernandes (11-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has signed with the UFC and will make his promotional debut against fellow 135-pounder Roland Delorme (8-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) next month at UFC 149.

UFC officials today announced the booking.

Fernandes is DREAM's reigning bantamweight champion, though the Japanese-based organization isn't expected to host another event following its financial collapse. Fernandes, a Brazilian who now fights of Canada, also previously held the DREAM featherweight belt. After losing that title to Hiroyuki Takaya via decision, he entered the 2011 DREAM world bantamweight grand prix, where he topped Takafumi Otsuka, Rodolfo Marques and Antonio Banuelos to win both the tournament and the 135-pound title.

1 down. Good signing.

Beautiful

Should be fun, Delorme was entertaining last month in his comeback against Denis.

will he make in noise in the UFC? How far up will he go?

He should. This, in reality, is an easy first fight they are giving him imo.

that was quick.

i don't think he'll reach the top of the mountain but i think he'll stick around for a long time.

That's what I thought as well. Hopefully he handles it like we think he should.

If he wins, I'd like to see him fight the Wineland-Jorgensen winner.

well that didn't take any time.
