Jeff Curran has been given another chance by the UFC, but he has been handed a tough challenge in the shape of Scott Jorgenson at UFC 137.

Curran last fought for the promotion in 2004, losing to Matt Serra, but he has since rediscovered his form at the age of 33. Four wins in his last five have earned him a return to the Octagon, where he can make a real splash if he beats Jorgenson.

Jorgenson is a man no fighter enjoys facing at 135lbs, and he is coming off a knockout win over Ken Stone. He has lost one of his last seven, to champion Dominick Cruz, and is now rebuilding for a rematch.

UFC 137 is headlined by Georges St-Pierre v Nick Diaz, with BJ Penn and Carlos Condit featuring in the co-main event.
