The UFC has announced that Matt Brown and Miguel Baeza are going to fight after all.

The welterweights were originally scheduled to fight at UFC Columbus on March 28th. But, the event was ultimately canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. More recently the UFC reported that Brown and Baeza will fight at the promotion’s May 16th card in Jacksonville, Florida.

The 39-year-old Brown (22-16) is coming off a stoppage win over Ben Saunders in December and is 2-3 in his last 5 bouts.

The 27-year-old Baeza (8-0) finished Hector Aldana in his Octagon debut, which took place in October.

The May 16th event will be headlined by a heavyweight bout between Walt Harris and Alistair Overeem.
