A few notable names on the UFC roster are set to put their grappling skills to the test later this month.
Former UFC interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit will face UFC veteran and recently retired Jake Ellenberger on March 29 at Submission Underground 12, which is set to take place in at Roseland Theater in Portland, Ore.
Condit, who hasn’t competed since December 2018, has been on a rough patch lately, losing his last five MMA fights in a row. He was scheduled to face Mickey Gall at UFC on ESPN 7 last December but was forced to withdraw because of a detached retina.
Since retiring from MMA in 2018, Ellenberger competed in a grappling match last May, defeating UFC welterweight Diego Sanchez at Submission Underground 8.
Also taking part at SUG 12 is Roxanne Modafferi, who faces jiu-jitsu ace Amanda Loewen. Modafferi is coming off a big upset win over highly touted prospect Maycee Barber at UFC 246.
SUG 12 will be headlined by UFC and Bellator veteran Kevin Casey, who takes on IBJJF world no-gi champion Craig Jones. The card streams live exclusively on UFC Fight Pass.
