UFC veteran Josh Burkman has fought at middleweight and welterweight, but now he'll drop down to lightweight for the first time in his career.
Josh Burkman (27-12, 1 NC) has found it hard to get a UFC win since he returned to the promotion this year. The 35-year-old suffered three straight losses to Hector Lombard, Dong Hyun Kim, and Patrick Cote, with the Lombard win overturned to a NC due to Lombard's failed drug test. Overall, he's won none of his last 6 UFC fights dating back to when he was cut for a 3-fight skid in 2008.
