Josh Burkman meets Alex Morono at UFC Austin
With the addition of a UFC lifer, the UFC Austin lineup now sits at a baker’s dozen.
Josh Burkman will compete in his 46th professional bout when he meets Alex Morono in a welterweight matchup on the Fight Pass prelims of UFC Fight Night 126 on Feb. 18. The bout was recently added to the official event page.
“The People’s Warrior” is currently on a career-worst four-fight losing streak. Last July at UFC 214, he was knocked out in just over three minutes by Drew Dober. That was Burkman’s sixth loss in his last seven appearances. The 37-year-old returns to the 170-pound division after taking his last two fights at lightweight.
