Ricardo Lamas will be fighting in his home state for his next UFC bout.
The former title challenger will be taking on prospect Mirsad Bektic in a 145-pound match-up at UFC 225. The event will go down on June 9 at the United Center in Chicago, Ill. The news was first reported by Combate and later announced by the promotion.
Lamas, 35, is coming off a knockout loss to Team Alpha Male’s Josh Emmett last December. Prior to that, the featherweight fighter was on a two-fight win streak.
