Larson returns to the UFC

WEC veteran Brock Larson (24-2) will make his debut at UFC Fight Night 18 in Nashville, Tennessee against Jesse Sanders (20-4) who will make his UFC debut. Larson was recently promoted from the WEC and was expected to face off against Carlos Condit for the Welterweight title, but will now make his return to the UFC instead.

MMAJunkie.com had the scoop on the bout and reported that the fighters have received the bout agreements and will sign them in a few days.

Larson is coming into the UFC on a 3 fight win streak since losing to Condit back at WEC 29 back in 2007. His most recent victory came over Carlo Prater at WEC 35 when he won by TKO (Punches) in only :37 seconds.

Sanders on the other hand has only been fighting for three years and has fought 24 times with 20 wins and has won 8 of his last 9 fights. Sanders according to the report also owns a 15-4 professional Boxing record as well, so we should look to see the hands flying inside the Octagon.

As of right now the bout has not been confirmed by the UFC, but URDirt.com will let you know as soon as the bout becomes official.
