Gets second UFC chance
Ivy will take on Bryan Barberena in a welterweight matchup at a UFC event scheduled for Sept. 12 in Las Vegas, Nolan King of MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ivy's UFC debut did not go as planned, as he was finished in under a minute by Christian Aguilera despite entering as a (-240) betting favorite. This mirrors the kill-or-be-killed mentality of his time on the regional circuits, as none of Ivy's 11 pro fights have ever needed the judges. He'll get a solid test in his next trip to the cage against Barberena, a veteran of 10 UFC fights that is very difficult to put away. Barberena lands an impressive 5.65 significant strikes per minute, but can be hit as well, absorbing 5.0. Ivy will also hold two-inch advantages in height and reach.

Receives medical suspension

This news comes off the heels of his loss via TKO (punches) to Christian Aguilera in Round 1 of UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas. It remains unclear what specific injury he has, but it is severe enough to warrant a suspension. It was not an ideal way to make his UFC debut.

Out for UFC 250, still on roster
Ivy will not take part in UFC 250 on June 6 as a result of Ian Heinisch being cleared to fight as initially scheduled, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ivy stepped up as a replacement on late notice after Heinisch was initially forced to withdraw due to precautionary concerns regarding COVID-19, but further tests appear to have lead the UFC to determine there's no reason for concern. As a result of volunteering on such late notice, Ivy will remain on the UFC roster. He's expected to get the shot to debut with the organization in the future.
