For the third time in his UFC career, Ricardo Lamas is getting a fight in his hometown. Lamas, a Chicago native, is set to meet Calvin Kattar in a featherweight bout at UFC 238. The Chicago Tribune on Tuesday was first to report the booking, which was subsequently confirmed by UFC broadcast partner ESPN. UFC 238 takes place June 8 at United Center and streams on ESPN+ pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass. Lamas (19-7 MMA, 10-5 UFC), a one-time UFC title challenger at 145 pounds, will enter the fight on a winning note after scoring a third-round TKO of Darren Elkins last November at UFC Fight Night 140. That victory snapped a two-fight skid for Lamas, who has split wins and losses in his two previous UFC fights in Chicago.
