Matt Brown says Jake Ellenbger is on the UFC cutting block, 'dangerous' opponent to face

It was announced earlier this week that Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight fan favorite Matt Brown will meet veteran Jake Ellenberger at UFC 201 on July 30 at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

Having just lost to Demian Maia via third-round submission back at UFC 198 in Curitiba, Brazil, Brown is in desperate need of a victory if he wishes to remain an ongoing piece of the 170-pound title picture. After all, despite being one of the most game fighters in the weight class, "The Immortal" has won just one fight out of his last four Octagon appearances.
