Yoel Romero to Face Paulo ‘Borrachinha’ in Pivotal Middleweight Bout at UFC 230 in New York

Another middleweight bout with serious title implications has been added to the UFC 230 lineup.

One day after multiple outlets reported that a Chris Weidman-Luke Rockhold rematch was set for UFC 230, the Las Vegas-based promotion confirmed that top 185-pound contenders Yoel Romero and Paulo Henrique Costa will also square off on the Nov. 3 card at Madison Square Garden in New York. A headliner for the card has not been announced, but a third key middleweight matchup -- Ronaldo Souza vs. David Branch -- was also recently confirmed.
