UFC 189 just got a bit more stacked, as Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) officials recently announced the addition of an intriguing welterweight showdown between Jake Ellenberger and kickboxing specialist Stephen Thompson.
The bout, which is expected to pop off on July 11, 2015, inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, will pit two men who prefer to let the action play out on the feet.
Ellenberger recently got back on the winning track by nearly choking the life out of Josh Koscheck at UFC 184 earlier this year. The win was much-needed, stopping the bleeding from the three-fight skid he was on, albeit it against top-notch competition.
