At UFC 211 back in May, light heavyweight and middleweight WSOF champion David Branch made his return to the UFC by taking on Krzysztof Jotko in the opening bout of the pay-per-view card. That night Branch outpointed Jotko in a split decision to improve his professional MMA record to 21–3.
Now, four months later, Branch will take on former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold in the main event of UFC Pittsburgh (UFC Fight Night 116). The event is set to take on Saturday at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
