Five fighters who saw action at UFC 109 and lost were eventually dismissed. The same could have happened with Ronys Torres, who dropped a unanimous decision to Melvin Guillard.
However, the promoters liked the performance of the Nova União black belt in Jiu-Jitsu so much that they already set up Ronys’s next date in the octagon.
According to GRACIEMAG.com’s sources in the Nova União camp, Ronys will face off against Jacob Volkmann, in Volkmann’s first venture into the lightweight category.
In his last two appearances, Jacob suffered the only losses on his record, to Paul James and Martin Kampmann. The date is not yet confirmed, but should not be too far off.
