Former Strikeforce champion Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza will meet Tim Boetsch at UFC 208.
Newsday announced the fight on Friday for the February pay-per-view event from Brooklyn. The card features Holly Holm vs. Germaine de Randamie for the first-ever UFC female featherweight title.
Souza (23-4) has won six of seven Octagon fights, falling only to Yoel Romero. He bested Vitor Belfort last year and was scheduled for a title-eliminator with Luke Rockhold before an injury sidelined Rockhold.
Boetsch (20-10) has fought 20 times for the UFC, going 11-9. After losing three straight, the veteran has rebounded with wins over Rafael Natal and Josh Samman.
