Michael Chiesa is set for his return after more than a year away from the Octagon.
The top lightweight will take on Kevin Lee in the main event of UFC Fight Night 112 on June 25 in Oklahoma City, MMA Fighting confirmed with UFC officials Thursday. Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal was the first to report the news.
MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani mentioned the possibility of the bout earlier Thursday.
Significant talks recently re: booking Michael Chiesa vs. Kevin Lee as the 6/25 main in OKC, but nothing is finalized just yet.
