French Fighter Baron Signs with UFC:

Frenchman David Baron has become the latest European to sign with the UFC, according to a source within the Team Haute Tension fighter's camp. A veteran of several promotions, including Pride Fighting Championships, the 35-year-old will carry a five-fight winning streak into his next fight.

Baron (15-2) last fought in May, when he submitted Japanese standout Hayato "Mach" Sakurai at a Shooto event with a first-round guillotine choke. Sakurai had been submitted only once before, by Crosley Gracie in 2004, and had not been finished in nearly two years.

Easily one of Europe's most accomplished mixed martial artists, Baron owns victories against former Cage Rage lightweight champion Abdul Mohammed and recent UFC signee Dan Hardy. His only to defeats came to former Pride lightweight champion Takanori Gomi and Swedish UFC veteran Per Eklund. Baron has been finished only once -- by Gomi -- in 17 career bouts.
