Jesse Forbes returns to UFC, likely to meet Nick Catone at UFC Fight Night 20

Filling in for injured middleweight Steve Steinbess (4-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC), Jesse Forbes (12-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) has agreed to a new deal with the UFC and is expected to meet Nick Catone (6-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) next month at UFC Fight Night 20.

Multiple sources close to the event today informed MMAjunkie.com of the likely matchup, though bout agreements have not been signed.

Forbes, a cast member on “The Ultimate Fighter 3,” suffered a loss to Matt Hamill at the show’s live finale and has since gone 11-2, which includes a current five-fight win streak, in outside organizations.
