Barnatt vs. Hester added to UFC Fight Night 63

A middleweight bout between Luke Barnatt and fellow Ultimate Fighter 17 alum Clint Hester has been added to UFC Fight Night 63 on April 4.

After winning in his first three trips to the Octagon, Barnatt finds himself on a two-fight losing streak, dropping a pair of split-decisions to Sean Strickland and Roger Narvaez.

Much like Barnatt, Hester found success early in his UFC career, racking up three straight victories before falling victim to a highlight reel TKO courtesy of Robert Whittaker at UFC Fight Night 55 in November.

UFC Fight Night 63 takes place at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va., and features a featherweight clash between Chad Mendes and Ricardo Lamas as the main event.
