An intriguing welterweight matchup will serve as the co-main event for UFC London on Saturday, March 18th. The UFC announced on Tuesday that Gunnar Nelson will take on Alan Jouban, who is seeking his fourth consecutive win and the biggest one of his career.
Nelson (15-2-1) rebounded from a one-sided loss to Demian Maia with an impressive rear-naked choke finish of Albert Tumenov at UFC Rotterdam in May. The Icelandic BJJ specialist was scheduled to fight Dong Hyun Kim in the UFC Belfast main event in November, but was pulled from the card after suffering an ankle injury.
