Brito was originally scheduled to face Melsik Baghdasaryan at the event this weekend in Las Vegas, but Baghdasaryan was forced to drop from the fight after breaking his hand training.

Anderson is currently on a five-fight winning streak with the last three wins coming inside the distance.

Brito will be looking for his second straight win after a first-round knockout of Andre Fili in less than a minute back in April.

This addition brings the total number of fights scheduled for the UFC Vegas 62 card back up to a dozen.
