A non-title middleweight bout between former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida and Yoel Romero will headline a UFC Fight Night on June 27 in Hollywood, Florida.

UFC officials announced the 185-pound contest on Friday. The event will take place inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

The announcement comes after Romero (9-1) was forced to withdraw from a bout against Ronaldo Souza on April 18 due to a knee injury. The American Top Team product avoided surgery on the knee, but missed out on a high-profile matchup against a former Strikeforce champion.

It was the second time a scheduled fight between Romero and Souza (22-3) had fallen through, and the UFC will now move in another direction. Souza still fought on April 18, submitting Chris Camozzi via armbar 2:33 into the first round.

Machida (22-6) is looking at a quick turnaround, as the 36-year-old suffered a one-sided submission loss to Luke Rockhold on the same April 18 card Romero on which was originally scheduled to compete. Machida is 3-2 since dropping to 185 pounds in October 2013.

In addition to the middleweight main event, UFC officials announced a welterweight fight between Erick Silva (18-5) and Rick Story (18-8) for the June 27 event.
