After one full year away from competition, it appears Josh Koscheck (17-8 MMA, 15-8 UFC) is primed to make his return to the octagon.

MMAjunkie has learned from sources close to the UFC that promotion officials are targeting a welterweight bout between Koscheck and Neil Magny (13-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) for February’s UFC 184 event.

The sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not publicly authorized to discuss such matters, indicated the bout has been offered to both fighters and at least one of the competitors has already offered verbal confirmation.

Featuring championship bouts in both the middleweight and women’s bantamweight divisions, UFC 184 takes place Feb. 28 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The evening’s main card airs on pay-per-view, though an official bout order has yet to be revealed.

A cast member on the debut season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Koscheck has been a mainstay in the UFC’s welterweight division for nearly a decade. While he reached the pinnacle of his career in 2010, falling short in a welterweight tile bid against Georges St-Pierre, Koscheck has struggled as of later, dropping three consecutive fights, albeit to the division’s absolute best fighters in current champion Johny Hendricks and top contenders Robbie Lawler and, most recently, Tyron Woodley in November 2013. Still, Koscheck turns 37 later this month and is in need of a victory.

Meanwhile, Magny was a cast member of “The Ultimate Fighter 16” but didn’t appear long for the promotion after going just 1-2 in his first three fights. However, he since turned in one of the best calendar years of any fighter in 2014 by picking up five UFC wins, downing William Macario, Alex Garcia, Rodrigo Goiana de Lima, Tim Means and Gasan Umalatov.

With the targeted addition to the card, UFC 184 now includes:

Champ Chris Weidman vs. Vitor Belfort – for middleweight title

Champ Ronda Rousey vs. Cat Zingano – for women’s bantamweight title

Frank Mir vs. Antonio Silva

Yoel Romero vs. Ronaldo Souza

Josh Koscheck vs. Neil Magny
