Gouveia Reljic UFC 84
Wilson Gouveia (10-4) will take on Octagon newcomer Goran Reljic (7-0) in a light heavyweight bout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 24, according to MMAWeekly.com.

Gouveia flies relatively low in the stacked 205-pound division despite riding a four-fight win streak. He opened a few eyes with his knockout of Jason Lambert at UFC 80: "Rapid Fire" on January 19 -- not too shabby for the Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelt who trains with American Top Team.

His only loss inside the Octagon is to Keith Jardine via unanimous decision back in 2006.

Reljic is a 23-year-old undefeated Croatian fighter who just recently signed a multiple-fight contract to compete inside the Octagon. He trains with the Roger Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy in London, England, where he is a purple belt. In addition, he has a solid working relationship with UFC heavyweight fighter, Mirko Cro Cop.

It should be interesting to see how the young prospect performs against a tough veteran on the big stage in Sin City.

UFC 84 most likely features the championship fight between lightweight belt holder, BJ Penn, and former division king, Sean Sherk.
