A welterweight showdown between Jake Ellenberger and Stephen Thompson has been added to the UFC 189 lineup.
A promotion official confirmed the matchup following an initial report from ESPN.com. According to that report, Ellenberger was initially paired with Tyron Woodley, but the matchup was changed when Woodley did not agree to the bout.
UFC 189 takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on July 11 and is headlined by a featherweight title tilt between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor.
