UFC 199: Clay Guida vs Brian Ortega official for June 4 in Los Angeles

Longtime Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veteran Clay Guida will make his return to the Octagon in a featherweight tussle opposite Brian Ortega at the upcoming UFC 199 pay-per-view (PPV) event, locked and loaded for Sat., June 4, 2016 inside The Forum in Los Angeles, California.

UFC announced the 145-pound showdown on Thursday.

Guida (32-16) has not won back-to-back fights since upsetting Anthony Pettis way back in 2011. "The Carpenter" was last seen succumbing to a second-round submission at the hands of Thiago Tavares in Brazil.

Ortega (10-0), on the other hand, scored a technical knockout victory over the aforementioned Tavares last June, then followed that up with a submission win over Diego Brandao at UFC 195.
