A bout between top-five middleweight contenders Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza and Kelvin Gastelum has been added to UFC 224.
Souza (25-5, one no-contest) is coming off a knockout win over Derek Brunson in January. The Brazilian is the No. 2-ranked 185-pound contender in the UFC.
Gastelum (14-3, 1 NC) removed former champion Michael Bisping from his consciousness this past November in his most recent bout. The 26-year-old, ranked fifth in the division has also finished Nate Marquardt, Tim Kennedy and Vitor Belfort with strikes in the middleweight division although his win over Belfort was changed to a no-contest after Gastelum tested positive for marijuana.
UFC 224 takes place May 12 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
