White confirms Weidman-Romero for UFC 205

UFC president Dana White has confirmed the rumored Chris Weidman-Yoel Romero bout will take place at UFC 205 on Nov. 12 in New York City.

The middleweight fight was reported as finalized earlier this month, but that was later disputed with a report Weidman had yet to put pen to paper.

Now Weidman has, White told the "Boomer & Carton Show" on Tuesday.

It will be Weidman's first fight since he dropped the middleweight title to Luke Rockhold via TKO at December's UFC 194.

For Romero, the contest will mark his return to action following a six-month suspension for a failed drug test. Romero won seven straight fights before his ban.
