Croatian light heavyweight Goran Reljic is scheduled to make his UFC debut on May 24 in Las Vegas at UFC 84.
The 23-year-old Reljic (8-0) will face his toughest challenge yet in the American Top Team's Wilson Gouveia (10-4), who is coming off four straight UFC wins. Gouveia has not been knocked out in over four years and has never been submitted in his MMA career.
Reljic, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt under Roger Gracie out of Gracie Barra UK, was originally slated to fight in front of his family and friends at UFC 83 in England. But UFC 83 was eventually moved to Canada and Reljic was bumped to UFC 84.
The UFC 84 card is also expected to feature BJ Penn's first lightweight title defense against former champ Sean Sherk and Tito Ortiz's final Octagon fight when he takes on Lyoto Machida.
