Is Lyoto Machida still relevant at 185 pounds?
We're about to find out, as "The Dragon" has signed on to fight dangerous division contender Yoel Romero at the upcoming UFC Fight Night 70 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, locked and loaded for June 27, 2015 inside Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
UFC announced the FOX Sports 1 booking on Friday.
Machida (22-6) came storming out of the 185-pound gate after dropping down from the light heavyweight division, racking up consecutive wins over Mark Munoz and Gegard Mousasi. Since then, the karateka is just 1-2 and coming off a lopsided beatdown at the hands of Luke Rockhold.
