Set for second UFC fight in April
Weeks will take on Ian Garry in a welterweight bout at UFC 273 on April 9, Team Iridium Sports Agency reports.
ANALYSIS
Weeks fell in his UFC debut back in early December against Bryan Barberena by unanimous decision. That fight was on very short notice, but he will have much more time to prepare for a talented prospect in Garry who will be making his second start with the promotion as well.

Solid debut despite loss
Weeks lost to Bryan Barberena via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Vegas 44 on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Weeks bought himself a ton of good will here by stepping in to save this fight on short notice, and despite entering as a slight betting underdog, he recorded four takedowns and won the battle of significant strikes 118-108. Still, he didn't manage much control time despite the takedowns, and the judges ultimately determined it was Barberena who landed the more damaging shots. Even though the scorecards didn't go his way, there's a lot to like from the 28-year-old, who has just six professional fights under his belt.
