UFC 184: Jacare Souza vs. Yoel Romero on tap for Feb. 28 in Los Angeles

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight contenders Ronaldo Souza and Yoel Romero will go to war at the upcoming UFC 184: "Weidman vs. Belfort" pay-per-view (PPV) event, scheduled for Feb. 28, 2015 inside the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

UFC announced the pairing on Thursday.

Souza (21-3) continues to inch himself closer to a 185-pound title shot. "Jacare" has now won seven consecutive fights dating back to his Strikeforce days, including a third-round submission win over Gegard Mousasi last September on FOX Sports 1.

But his latest test could be his stiffest.

Like the Brazilian, Romero (9-1) has been tearing up the middleweight division. Putting a cherry on top of his five-fight winning streak, the hard-hitting "Soldier of God" beat the brakes off Tim Kennedy at the recent UFC 178 PPV event in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Early predictions?

UFC 184 features a championship doubleheader in the main- and co-main events, with middleweight kingpin Chris Weidman leading the charge against top-ranked 185-pound contender, Vitor Belfort. Not to be outdone, Ronda Rousey will defend her 135-pound tiara against Cat Zingano in the supporting act.
