Ludwig set for welterweight move

UFC veteran fighter Duane ‘Bang’ Ludwig is set for a move from lightweight to welterweight when he returns from a broken leg.

Ludwig broke his leg in the fight with Darren Elkins at UFC on Versus 1, but has now begun physical therapy and light training.

Ludwig has confirmed that a move to welterweight is imminent as he returns.

“It would be easier,” Ludwig today told MMAjunkie.com.

Ludwig has admitted he must improve his grappling.

“I’ve got to get myself to the point there can never be a bad matchup for me,” he said. “I’m slowly working on that.”
