The fight will occur when the UFC touches Oklahoma City on June 25.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we here at BJPenn.com have some <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/videos\/video-bj-penn-gives-first-update-following-dennis-siver-fight-booking\/\">exclusive footage<\/a> of the legend signing the bout agreement for this fight with Siver, making it all official. That&#8217;s right, BJ Penn&#8217;s next fight is a GO! Watch &#8220;The Prodigy&#8221; put pen to paper in the video at the top of this post.<\/p>\n<p>When we last saw Penn in action, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/videos\/video-bj-penn-greg-jackson-jason-parillo-didnt-want-fight-top-10-guy\/\">he came up short<\/a> in his anticipated return to the cage, succumbing to second-round strikes dealt by red hot featherweight contender Yair Rodriguez. In his next most recent fights, Penn has come up short against top-flight opposition in former lightweight champ Frankie Edgar, and welterweight greats Rory MacDonald and Nick Diaz. These fights, meanwhile, were preceded by a draw with former welterweight title challenger Jon Fitch. Penn is 16-11-2 in sum.<\/p>\n<p>Siver, meanwhile, is 22-11-0 overall. The Russian-born German has not been seen in the cage since June of 2015, when he gave up a decision to <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/felony-charles-bennett\/felony-charles-bennett-rematch-guy-just-kod-7-seconds\/\">recent Rizin Fighting Federation signee<\/a> Tatsuya Kawajiri. Prior to that, he was knocked out by reigning UFC lightweight champ <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/fighter\/conor-mcgregor\/\">Conor McGregor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Penn and Siver were first supposed to meet at <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/dennis-siver\/bj-penn-vs-dennis-siver-set-for-ufc-199\/\">UFC 199<\/a> last June. Regrettably, this fight was nixed due to injury.<\/p>\n<p>The UFC&#8217;s June trip to Oklahoma City will\u00a0be headlined by a lightweight bout between Michael Chiesa and Kevin Lee. It will also include a compelling middleweight scrap between long-time contender Tim Boetsch and former welterweight king Johny Hendricks.<\/p>\n<p>Are you excited to see BJ Penn back in action?
