A middleweight matchup between two of the division’s scariest fighters has been tentatively booked for UFC 241. After previous attempts to put together the key bout between Paulo Costa and Yoel Romero ultimately fizzled, UFC are hoping to give it another go at the Aug. 17 event at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. ESPN’s Ariel Helwani first reported that both fighters have verbally agreed to the contest, and MMA Junkie subsequently confirmed the plans with multiple people with knowledge of the contest who requested anonymity because the promotion has not officially announced the matchup. Bout agreements have yet to be finalized.
