The heavyweight match takes place Dec. 30 at 2300 Arena in Philadelphia and streams on UFC Fight Pass.

After losing five of his final seven UFC fights – all by stoppage – Barry parted ways with the promotion in 2013. He made a one-stop return to the kickboxing ring under the GLORY banner, but was badly knocked out by Zack Mwekassa.

Barry will compete prior to Namajunas, who meets Gillian Robertson in the headliner of the card.
