Appearing on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour, Romero chatted with host Ariel Helwani, revealing that he's been promised a title shot with a victory over Ronaldo Souza at Dec. 12's UFC 194 event.
When he was asked if the UFC confirmed that he'll receive this opportunity, Romero answered clearly and succinctly.
"Yes [I have been promised the shot]," Romero said through his translator.
With six straight victories since coming to the UFC in April 2013, Romero's resume — especially with a win over "Jacare" — will certainly merit a try at the middleweight strap.
