With new approach, UFC veteran Josh Burkman returns to comeback trail tonight

“The Ultimate Fighter 2” veteran Josh Burkman gave a lot of thought to the preparation needed for a fight. He gave little thought to what happened afterward.

More than a year after suffering a litany of fight-related injuries, the 29-year-old fighter continues on his comeback trail tonight when he faces Jake Paul at “Showdown” at the McKay Events Center in Orem in his home state of Utah.

And while Burkman’s ultimate goal is to return to the UFC, he’s not going to call matchmaker Joe Silva before he feels confident fighting the best in the world.
