C.B. Dolloway will fight at 205 when he meets Francimar Barroso at UFC 203, in Cleveland, on September 10.

In desperate search for a win, C.B. Dollaway will look for a new result in the light heavyweight division, when he meets Francimar Barroso at UFC 203, as Combatereported.

Currently on a three-fight skid, losing to the likes of Nate Marquardt, Michael Bispingand Lyoto Machida, Dollaway (15-8) hasn’t had his hand raised since an unanimous decision win over Francis Carmont in May 2014. The change marks the first time he will try his luck at 205.

Barroso (18-5) is coming off a submission loss to Nikita Krylov that snapped a two-fight winning streak over Elvis Mutapcic and Ryan Jimmo. The Brazilian could also be fighting for his job, as the UFC is not known for keeping grinders like himself around for too long after they start losing matches.

UFC 203 is scheduled for the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio on September 10. The card will be headlined by a heavyweight title fight between champion Stipe Miocicand challenger Alistair Overeem.
