A middleweight fight between former WSOF champion David Branch and TUF 23 light heavyweight winner Andrew Sanchez is in the works for UFC Vancouver.
MMA Junkie first reported the matchup, though the UFC is yet to make an official announcement. This will be the UFC’s first return to the city of Vancouver since hosting UFC on Fox 21 at the Rogers Arena in August 2016.
For the first time in his career, Branch (22-6) enters the fight against Sanchez riding consecutive losses. Dropping a first-round submission to top contender Jack Hermansson in March, Branch was also finished by Jared Cannonier in his fight before that.
