Matt Brown vs. Jake Ellenberger slated for UFC 201
Esther Lin, MMA FightingA welterweight tilt between UFC contenders Matt Brown and Jake Ellenberger has been verbally agreed to for July 30 at UFC 201. ESPN first reported the match-up on Thursday.
Brown (20-14) gets a quick turnaround after losing to Demian Maia via third-round submission at UFC 198.
The 35-year-old Brown is currently the No. 8 ranked welterweight in the UFC, according the promotion's media-generated rankings, but has lost three of his past four fights since turning his career around with a seven-fight win streak that included victories over Stephen Thompson and Erick Silva.
