Former UFC welterweight Josh Burkman is set to headline a local ”Throwdown Showdown” card on November 20 in Orem, Utah.
Burkman is set to fight another former UFC competitor in Brandon Melendez in a catchweight bout, according to FanHouse.
This will be Burkman’s first fight in nearly 12 months. The 29-year-old started off as a cast member on The Ultimate Fighter 2 and went on to compete at 10 straight events for the UFC.
Burkman has taken nearly a year off to rehabilitate a back and neck injury.
