Matt Brown returns and gets to fight in front of a hometown crowd for his next appearance.
Brown meets Bryan Barberena at UFC Columbus, which is set to take place on March 26 at the Nationwide Arena in Ohio. Meni Mayer of MMA Ideas on Instagram was first to report the fight. It has since been confirmed by Brown on Twitter.
Brown vs. Barberena was previously scheduled for UFC Vegas 44 in December, but the ‘Immortal’ tested positive for COVID-19 and was forced to withdraw from the event.
Brown recently snapped a two-fight losing streak with a ‘Performance of the Night’ awarded knockout of Dhiego Lima at UFC Vegas 29 this past June.
