Winless in his last six Octagon appearances, former two-division champion B.J. Penn will return to action against Ryan Hall at UFC 232.
The promotion announced the lightweight matchup on Wednesday evening. UFC 232 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Dec. 29 and features a featherweight championship tilt between Cristiane Justino and Amanda Nunes.
Penn last appeared at UFC Fight Night 112 in June 2017, losing a majority decision to Dennis Siver. “The Prodigy” hasn’t won a fight since he knocked out Matt Hughes in 21 seconds at UFC 123 on Nov.
