Matt Brown vs Jake Ellenberger booked for UFC 201 on July 30 in Atlanta

Longtime welterweight sluggers Matt Brown and Jake Ellenberger will hook 'em up for a spot in the 170-pound pecking order at the upcoming UFC 201 pay-per-view (PPV) mixed martial arts (MMA) event on July 30, 2016, inside Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

UFC brought word of the pending showdown on Thursday.

Brown (20-14) has struggled to stay relevant in recent years after dropping three of his last four. That includes a submission loss to Demian Maia earlier this month in Brazil. It should be noted that all three of those defeats have come against top-shelf competition.

Not that it's been all wine and roses for Ellenberger (30-11).
