Following weeks of speculation, B.J. Penn will get to fight at UFC 199.
Promotion officials announced on Tuesday that Penn will lock horns with Dennis Siver in a featured bout on the June 4 bill, which takes place at the The Forum in Los Angeles and airs on pay-per-view. UFC 199 is headlined by a middleweight title rematch pitting Luke Rockhold against Chris Weidman.
Penn’s return is reported to have been delayed to an accusation of sexual assault.
“We have taken a look at the available facts, which aren't too substantial, and there are two stories of what happened,” Lawrence Epstein, the UFC's chief operating officer told Yahoo Sports.
