Former UFC lightweight and welterweight champion BJ Penn will return to the octagon on October 15 in Manila, Philippines, when he meets former UFC featherweight title challenger Ricardo Lamas.<\/p>\n

The UFC Hall of Fame fighter, Penn, has not stepped foot in the cage since his July 2014 loss to Frankie Edgar.<\/p>\n

The BJ Penn vs. Ricardo Lamas bout will take place in the UFC’s featherweight division (145-pounds).<\/p>\n

Ricardo Lamas was last seen in action at June’s UFC 199 event in Los Angeles, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss to top contender Max Holloway. Prior to that, “The Bully” was coming off a unanimous decision victory over Diego Sanchez in November of 2015. Lamas has gone 3-2 in his last five octagon appearances. <\/p>\n
