Brazilian prospects Bruno Suema and Ronaldo Candido de Oliveira are set to vie for the vacant Shooto South America flyweight title after both men successfully made weight at Saturday’s official weigh-in for Shooto Brazil 57.

Both fighters tipped the scales at the maximum 125 pounds, though Suema required a second trip to the scale and an extra hour to shed an additional half pound, according to a report from OReporter.com. The championship matchup headlines a 13-bout card which will stream live via UFC Fight Pass on Sunday beginning at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.
