The UFC is preparing a super event for UFC 184, which will take place on February 28th in Los Angeles (USA). In addition to the two title fights scheduled for the attraction, the card will also feature a duel between the top middleweights Ronaldo Jacare e Yoel romero.
The two athletes, coming from Strikeforce, haven't known what it's like to lose since arriving in the UFC. Inside the octagon, Jacaré defeated Chris Camozzi, Yushin Okami, Francis Carmont, and, more recently, Gegard Mousasi, which placed it in third place in the category ranking.
Romero, in turn, has won five in a row, four of which were by knockout or technical knockout. His victims were Clifford Starks, Ronny Markes, Derek Brunson, Brad Tavares and Tim Kennedy. The Cuban currently occupies sixth place in weight.
UFC 184 will be held at the Staples Center gymnasium, being Ultimate's first visit to Los Angeles since 2012. The main fight of the attraction will be the middleweight title fight between Chris Weidman e Vitor belfort. In the co-main fight, Ronda Rousey also puts its title on the line against the undefeated Zingano cat. Another confirmed fight is between the heavyweights, with the former champion Frank mir measuring strength with the Brazilian Antonio Pezão.
