Saunders (20-7-2 MMA, 7-4 UFC), a 33-year-old welterweight, left the UFC earlier this year after a TKO defeat to Patrick Cote that snapped a three-fight winning streak. Saunders said he wasn’t released from the UFC . Instead, he said his contract expired while he was going “through a really hard time with practically every aspect of my life.” Earlier this month, though, he got back on track at a regional show in Minnesota, where he defeated fellow UFC vet Jacob Volkmann (19-7) in just 17 seconds (via Instagram ): Saunders now has 16 stoppages (nine knockouts and seven submissions) in 20 career wins. His UFC return date and opponent haven’t been announced
