Case returns to face Martin in OKC

 

Lightweight prospect Johnny Case will make his first UFC start in over a year on June 25, when he meets up with veteran Tony Martin in a UFC Fight Night bout at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.

In the UFC Fight Night main event, which airs live on FS1, lightweight contenders collide as Michael Chiesa faces Kevin Lee.

Winner of 12 of his last 13 bouts, a stretch that includes four UFC wins over the likes of Frankie Perez and Yan Cabral, Case will look to rebound from his Fight of the Night loss to Jake Matthews in March 2016 when he battles Boston's Martin, a seasoned ground ace who has won two straight over Felipe Olivieri and Alex White.
