Former UFC lightweight Matt Grice makes his return to the organization in June for the first time since UFC 100.

The organization this week announced that Grice will meet Ricardo Lamas in a featherweight bout at UFC on Versus 4, coming to Pittsburgh's Consol Energy Center on June 26.

Grice went just 1-3 in his first stint in the UFC, getting submitted by Terry Etim and Shannon Gugerty, and losing a TKO to Matt Veach to go along with his lone decision victory over Jason Black. However, Grice has won four straight fights outside of the organization since then, and with the UFC now promoting the featherweight division he'll return at 145 lbs.

Lamas sports a 4-2 mark under the Zuffa banner, all with the WEC. His last appearance inside the WEC didn't go well for him though, as he had a three fight win streak snapped by a knockout loss to Yuri Alcantra at WEC 53.

UFC on Versus 4 will be headlined by an exciting welterweight clash between Nate Marquardt and Anthony "Rumble" Johnson.
