Baten (5-4) fought in May 2008 and dropped a decision to TJ Cook at Real Fighting Championships 12. He has also competed inside the Ultimate Warrior Challenge promotion, where he stopped former Green Bay Packers running back Herbert Goodman on second-round strikes.
A heavyweight match between UFC veterans Marcio Cruz and Tom Sauer will headline the event. A Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, Cruz (5-2) has rattled off three wins in a row since his knockout loss to Andrei Arlovski at UFC 66. Sauer (21-11) -- who has victories against Jeff Monson, Valentijn Overeem and Enson Inoue on his resume -- has battled Tourette syndrome throughout his life.
