A welterweight matchup between perennial contender Jon Fitch and Jake Ellenberger is on tap for UFC 126’s pay-per-view card.
Sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com that at least one fighter has agreed to the fight and that bout agreements are in the process of being finalized.
For Ellenberger, it’s a chance to climb several steps on the welterweight ladder. Fitch, meanwhile, has not lost since August 2008, when he fell short in a bid to take Georges St-Pierre’s title at UFC 87. It was his sole setback inside the octagon; he is one of the UFC’s most winningest competitors with 13 victories to his credit.
UFC 125 takes place on Super Bowl weekend and airs on pay-per-view.
