Tony Ferguson will return to the octagon against Anthony Pettis at UFC 229.
Former interim UFC lightweight champion Ferguson hasn’t competed since last October but will end his year-long layoff against ex-champ Pettis, two people with knowledge of the booking told MMAjunkie on Thursday night. The people requested anonymity because the UFC has yet to make an official announcement.
UFC 229 takes place Oct. 6 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card, which is headlined by a 155-pound title fight between champ Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor, airs on pay-per-view following prelims streamed on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Ferguson, No. 2 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie lightweight rankings, won the interim belt with a submission of Kevin Lee at UFC 216 in October.
No. 10 Pettis (21-7 MMA, 8-6 UFC) is coming off a second-round submission of Michael Chiesa at UFC 226 in July. He’s alternated wins and losses over his past six fights.
