Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman will be part of the UFC 205 card on November 12 in New York City as he will meet Yoel Romero in a key 185 pound bout.
The fight booking was made official by the UFC on Tuesday morning.
UFC 205 will come from Madison Square Garden and will be headlined by a title fight as lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez will defend the UFC 155 pound title against current UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor.
Weidman (13-1) is coming off a TKO defeat at the end of last year against Luke Rockhold and was scheduled to return earlier this year for a rematch against Rockhold, but he had to pull out of the fight due to an injury. Romero (11-1) is currently on a seven fight winning streak and is coming off a split decision win at UFC 194 against Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza.
