Another long-rumored bout is official for UFC 205, as Chris Weidman will square off with Yoel Romero in a pivotal middleweight matchup.
UFC President Dana White announced the bout on the "Boomer & Carton Show” on Wednesday. UFC 205 takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Nov. 12 and is headlined by a lightweight championship tilt pitting Eddie Alvarez against Conor McGregor.
Weidman hasn’t competed since losing the 185-pound strap to Luke Rockhold via fourth-round technical knockout at UFC 194, his first defeat in 14 professional bouts.
