When Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight king Robert Whittaker is healthy, Yoel Romero will almost assuredly be his next challenger. Now, we have a good idea of who will be second in line.
On Thursday, the UFC confirmed that former Strikeforce middleweight champion Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza will take on Kelvin Gastelum in a high-stakes 185-pound affair. The bout will feature on the main card of UFC 224, scheduled for May 12 at the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
It will be the second appearance of 2018 for the 38-year-old Souza.
