Goran Reljic will be making his UFC debut at UFC 84 against the experienced Wilson Gouveia.

The Croatian fighter was suppose to debut at the UFC event scheduled for March 8 in England but the event which was never made official was eventually scrapped. Goran trains in England under Roger Gracie but sometimes trains in Croatia as well. He is one of the most talented grapplers in Eastern Europe and dominated the competition in the 2007 European Gracie Championship.

The light heavyweight fighter is very strong and is currently undefeated with a pro record of 8-0. He has a vicious armbar and has won five of his eight fights via submission. He is apparently comfortable and ready to make the leap to higher level competition in the UFC.

Wilson Gouveia will definitely oblige and most likely isn’t planning on being Reljic’s stepping stone in his run to the top of the light heavyweight division. Gouveia is 4-1 in the UFC and 10-4 overall. His last fight was a huge win over Jason Lambert at UFC 80 on January 19. He knocked out Lambert with a vicious punch at 0:37 in the second round.

This should be an extremely good match up with fireworks from start to finish. Goran’s management team at MMAmanager.net states that all who have witnessed Goran’s training sessions say that he is on his way to becoming the next Crocop. We know he has sick submission skills. If he kicks like Crocop Gouveia could be in for a rough night.
