Penn, 40, last scored a knockout win over Matt Hughes back in 2010, since then he has gone 0-7-1 in the UFC. “Prodigy” last fought back in May of 2019 where he suffered a decision loss against Clay Guida at UFC 237.
UFC veteran Nik Lentz is coming off a second-round TKO loss over Charles Oliveira this past May. Since returning to the lightweight division, Lentz has gone 5-3 in the past eight-fight.
