The former UFC and WEC lightweight champion has ended his two-fight experiment at featherweight and will return to the division over which he once ruled.
Pettis will meet veteran Jim Miller at UFC 213 in Las Vegas on July 8. MMAFighting.com confirmed an initial report by Combate.
Pettis (19-6) has dropped four out of his past five fights dating back to his title loss to Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 185. He dropped to featherweight last year, and while he impressed in a submission win over Charles Oliveira, he missed weight for an interim title fight against Max Holloway and lost via third-round stoppage at UFC 206.
