Shortly after Belfort's post, MMAFighting confirmed that Mousasi would be the man who would be facing Belfort at UFC 204.

Belfort (25-12) comes into the fight following a loss to Ronaldo Souza at UFC 198 in May. Mousasi (39-6-2) comes into the fight off back-to-back wins, including a first-round knockout of Thiago Santos at UFC 200 which earned him a performance of the night bonus.

While the UFC 204 card has yet to be officially announced, sources close to FloCombat have confirmed rumors that the card is set to place in Manchester on October 8th with a main event featuring UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson.
