Short ‘n sweet w/o the fluff!

At UFC FN19, WEC standout Carlos Condit was to face Chris Lytle, but a knee injury snuffed out what would have surely been an epic battle. Replacing Lytle, making his UFC debut will be Jake Ellenberger (21-4). Ellenberger has history in the IFL and most recently Bellator and is currently on a 4 fight win streak. FN19 takes place on Sept. 16th at Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City and will be televised live on Spike.
