An action-packed welterweight scrap pitting Matt Brown
against Bryan
Barberena is set for an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on
Dec. 4.
MMA DNA was first to report the booking. The card doesn’t have
an official location or headliner but already includes several
bouts of note: Rafael
Fiziev vs. Brad
Riddell; Jimmy Crute
vs. Jamahal
Hill and Brendan
Allen vs. Brad
Tavares, to name a few.
Brown halted a two-bout skid in his last outing, as he defeated
Dhiego
Lima via second-round knockout at UFC on ESPN 25 on June 19.
“The Immortal” has won three of five Octagon appearances dating
back to 2019, with wins over Ben
Saunders and Diego
Sanchez to his credit.
Barberena, meanwhile, is coming off a majority decision defeat to
Jason
Witt at UFC on ESPN 28 that earned “Fight of the Night” honors
on July 31. “Bam Bam” has won just one of his last four Octagon
appearances, a decision triumph against Anthony Ivy
at UFC Fight Night 177.
