The UFC's return to the Steel City is about to get even more interesting.

A bout between Dennis Bermudez and Tatsuya Kawajiri is targeted for UFC Fight Night: Cerrone vs. Means on Feb. 21 in Pittsburgh, sources told MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani.

Bermudez (14-5), one of the top featherweights in the world, is coming off two straight losses to elite opponents Jeremy Stephens (at UFC 189 in July) and Ricardo Lamas. The Long Island, N.Y., resident owns wins over Max Holloway and Clay Guida.
