UFN 21: Jacob Volkmann vs. Ronnys Torres On Tap

According to Volkmann's Twitter page:

I will be fighting UFN 21 in North Carolina against Ronys Torres at 155 pounds on March 31st. Hopefully it will make Spike.

Volkmann apparently will be dropping down to the UFC lightweight division as he's currently 0-2 as a welterweight.  Albeit those two losses are against Paulo Thiago and Martin Kampmann.  Ronys Torres debuted at UFC 109, losing a close decision to Melvin Guillard.  Both guys are excellent grapplers, so look for this one to hit the ground for sure at some point.  We fans in North Carolina look to be in for a stellar fight night card as this event will take place in Charlotte on March 31st.  If you haven't gotten your tickets yet, I suggest you do so now.  The fight card thus far:

-Kenny Florian vs. Takanori Gomi
-Roy Nelson vs. Stefan Struve 
-Nate Quarry vs. Jorge Rivera
-Ross Pearson vs. Dennis Siver

-Cole Miller vs. Andre Winner
-Gleison Tibau vs. Caol Uno
-Charlie Brenneman vs. Jason High
-Gerald Harris vs. Mario Miranda*

-Yushin Okami vs. Lucio Linhares
-Jacob Volkmann vs. Ronnys Torres

How does Volkmann still have a job?

I mean, since when does Zuffa keep guys around who are 0-2 in their debut?

To be fair he’s been overmatched and I think everyone knows that.

Well

he did give Paulo Thiago all he could handle…I think it was on short notice as well…and he performed well against Kampmann before losing…I suspect if he loses this one it’s a wrap like reynolds.
