A bantamweight bout between Ivan Menjivar and Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto has been added to the UFC 165: Jones vs. Gustafsson fight card slated for Sept. 21 in Toronto. Menjivar (25-10) has competed as heavy as welterweight. He competed in the UFC as a lightweight in 2004. “The Pride of El Salvador” returned to the UFC in 2011 as a bantamweight and has gone 4-2 in the organization at 135 pounds. Menjivar is coming off a loss to former featherweight titleholder Urijah Faber at UFC 157 on Feb. 23 in his last outing and hopes to get put a “w” in the win column against Yamamoto and work his way back into title contention
