After more than a year layoff, Sean Sherk will return to action at UFC 119 against Evan Dunham.
MMA Junkie first reported the news on Wednesday, and MMA Fighting has confirmed from a source close to Sherk’s camp that the former UFC lightweight champion will be back on the Indianapolis card on Sept. 25.
Sherk (33-4-1, 7-4 UFC) last fought at UFC 98 in May 2009, where he lost a unanimous decision to future champion Frankie Edgar. Following the fight, in an odd turn of events, Sherk ran from the MGM Grand Garden Arena and was tracked down nearly a mile away, still needing to submit his post-fight urinalysis.
And then the injury bug hit him. Repeatedly.
