Brown-Baeza Added To May 16 UFC Card

Another fight has been rebooked for the UFC’s return to action this month. On May 16, Matt Brown and Miguel Baeza will once again be looking to face one another.

The two were supposed to fight at UFC Columbus on March 28 but the event was postponed due to the coronavirus. In a post on social media, the UFC broke the news that the fight was back on.
