A middleweight bout between two fighters in need of a win was added to UFC 114 pitting Ryan Jensen against Jesse Forbes. Bout agreements have been signed for the fight, according to a UFC source.
Both fighters are in their second stints with the UFC, and are coming off losses. The 32-year-old Jensen lost just over a month ago when he suffered a first-round defeat at the hands of Mark Munoz.
The 25-year-old Forbes (11-4) began his UFC career on season three of The Ultimate Fighter, but he lost his first official octagon match to Matt Hamill in 2006 and was cut. After going 10-2 in smaller promotions, he was invited back to the UFC, but lost in his return at last month’s Fight Night 20 event in a tight split decision to Nick Catone.
