Quick booking after UFC signing
Vanderford has signed with the UFC and will take on Nikolay Veretennikov in a welterweight matchup at UFC Seattle on Saturday, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Vanderford is a former Bellator title contender who is arguably most well known for being married to former UFC fighter Paige VanZant, and he'll now join the latest run of former Bellator fighters to catch on elsewhere. He suffered back-to-back losses to end his time with Bellator, but fought under the LFA banner last October and picked up a win over Victor Romero. He now takes on Veretennikov, who was given a UFC chance despite a Contender Series loss, and the end result was a split-decision defeat to Danny Barlow last August. After competing much of his career at middleweight, Vanderford last fought at welterweight, but he'll give up slight height and reach advantages to his opponent.
