Former Ultimate Fighter competitor and current middleweight prospect Luke Barnatt will return to the Octagon on Saturday, April 4, as he faces TUF 17 castmate Clint Hester in a UFC Fight Night bout at Patriot Center in Fairfax, Virginia.
Tickets for UFC Fight Night: Mendes vs. Lamas go on sale on February 11.
Staring at the first two-fight losing streak of his pro career, the talented Barnatt is more determined than ever to recapture the form that saw him defeat Collin Hart, Andrew Craig and Mats Nilsson in his first three UFC bouts. Georgia's Hester has won seven of his last eight bouts, including four UFC wins, two by knockout over Bristol Marunde and Dylan Andrews.
