Derek Brunson Slated To Fight Ian Heinisch at UFC 241

A new middleweight contest has been added to the upcoming UFC 241 event, as Derek Brunson will lock horns with Ian Heinisch.

Following an initial report on Friday by MyMMANews.com, sources for Sherdog have confirmed the fight.

After suffering back-to-back defeats at the hands of Ronaldo Souza and Israel Adesanya, Brunson (19-7) bounced back with a unanimous decision victory over former middleweight contender Elias Theodorou. The 35-year-old fighter is now looking to find some continuity in his record, and accepted the fight after Heinisch called him out.
