  - PETE SELL VS MATT BROWN AT UFC 96
Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - by Mick Hammond - MMAWeekly.com
In what could be a sleeper nominee for Fight of the Night, MMAWeekly.com has confirmed with sources close to Pete “Drago” Sell that he will be making his Ultimate Fighting Championship return on March 7 against Matt Brown at UFC 96 in Columbus, Ohio.
The fight will be Sell’s second since moving down to welterweight from his previous longtime home of middleweight.
In his initial outing at 170 pounds, Sell defeated former “Ultimate Fighter 7” cast member Josh Burkman via unanimous decision at UFC 90 this past October in Chicago.
Like Sell, Brown is also coming off a win in his most recent UFC action. In November he stepped in on short notice to impressively defeat Ryan Thomas via armbar just under a minute into the second round of their fight.
UFC 96 is set to take place at Nationwide Arena in Columbus on March 7, the same weekend as the Arnold Sports Festival.
