The Filipino Wrecking Machine joins a growing UFC 184 card, set to take place February 28, 2015 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

A veteran of the UFC, Mark Munoz (13-5) will look to rebound from back-to-back defeats in his 14th fight inside the octagon. Munoz has recently suffered brutal losses at the hands of top contenders Lyoto Machida and Gegard Mousasi, and despite rumblings of a bittersweet retirement, the 36-year-old middleweight will now be entering into his first bout on a new four-fight deal.

His opponent, Caio Magalhaes (9-1) is 4-0 in the UFC since dropping a decision to Buddy Roberts in his debut back in 2012. The 26-year-old prospect fighting out of Nova Uniao is coming off an impressive 2014 with two first-round finishes. Magalhaes looks to earn the finest feather in his cap to date when he takes on a tough test in Munoz, who will be eager to shake off the 'gatekeeper' tag.

With the addition of this bout, UFC 184 now includes:

Chris Weidman (c) vs. Vitor Belfort
Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Cat Zingano
Frank Mir vs. Antonio Silva
Yoel Romero vs. Ronaldo Souza
Jake Ellenberger vs. Josh Koscheck
Roman Salazar vs. Norifumi Yamamoto
Mark Munoz vs. Caio Magalhaes
