Jorgensen returns to bantamweight; will face Gamburyan in July

After a brief foray at flyweight, Scott "Young Guns" Jorgensen is returning to the 135-pound weight class.

Jorgensen, who went a disappointing 1-3 at 125 pounds, is set to go toe-to-toe with fellow veteran Manny Gamburyan at UFC Fight Night 71 on July 15.

Likely a little long in the tooth for the "Young Guns" moniker, the 32-year-old Jorgensen owns a 15-10 record in his MMA career, and counts Takeya Mizugaki, Brad Pickett, and Jeff Curran among his high-profile scalps.

A finalist on the Ultimate Fighter 5, Gamburyan is 3-1 (1 no contest) in his last five bouts, submitting Cody Gibson via guillotine choke in his last trip to the Octagon at UFC 178 in September.

UFC Fight Night 71 takes place at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, Calif., and features a heavyweight clash between Frank Mir and Todd Duffee as the main event.
