The UFC’s June lineup continues to grow.
A lightweight fight between Luis Pena and Khama Worthy is the latest addition to the June 27 event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Two people with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the booking on Tuesday but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
Pena (8-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) most recently competed at UFC on ESPN+ 27 in February, defeating promotional newcomer Steve Garcia by unanimous decision. Pena has won three of his most recent four outings, also defeating Matt Wiman and Steven Peterson.
As for Worthy (15-6 MMA, 1-0 UFC), the 33-year-old lightweight fighter has not competed since his knockout of Devonte Smith in his promotional debut at UFC 241 in August. The victory was one of 2019’s biggest upsets according to the oddsmakers. Worthy is currently riding a six-fight winning streak with three finishes in that stretch.
With the addition, the UFC’s June 27 lineup now includes:
- Dustin Poirier vs. Dan Hooker
- Aspen Ladd vs. Sara McMann
- Viviane Araujo vs. Jennifer Maia
- Alexa Grasso vs. Ji Yeon Kim
- Maurice Greene vs. Gian Villante
- Tanner Boser vs. Philipe Lins
- Brendan Allen vs. Ian Heinisch
