It seemed like veteran welterweight Jake Ellenberger may have been stepping away from the UFC for a little while, but that is not the case after all. He has been added to the UFC Utica card in June, where he will fight Bryan Barberena.
The UFC recently confirmed the matchup.
Ellenberger (31-13, 10-9 UFC) will be competing in his 20th UFC bout. He hasn’t been that effective lately, losing four out of his last five and seven of nine overall. His last bout was a second-round knockout loss to Mike Perry in Nashville last April.
