A pair of welterweight sluggers are the latest addition to UFC Fight Night 108.
The promotion today announced that Jake Ellenberger (31-12 MMA, 10-8 UFC) and Mike Perry (9-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) will face off at the April 22 event, bringing the fight card to 12 bouts.
UFC Fight Night 108 takes place at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. It’s headlined by a featherweight bout between Cub Swanson and Artem Lobov.
Although the official bout order hasn’t been announced, main card fights are expected to air on FS1 following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Ellenberger and Perry both want to bounce back after recent losses in the octagon. Ellenberger had the unusual misfortune of getting his toe caught between the canvas and cage at “The Ultimate Fighter 24” finale, setting up a TKO loss at the hands of Jorge Masvidal. Perry, meanwhile, was outclassed by Alan Jouban at UFC on FOX 22, bringing an unceremonious halt to his quick rise at 170 pounds.
With both fighters favoring a boxing-heavy attack, the bout looks like a slugfest on paper.
