Peter Barrett vs. Danny Henry in the works for UFC on ESPN+ 31 in Lincoln

Peter Barrett’s UFC debut finally is in the works.

The only fighter from the third season of Dana White’s Contender Series who has yet to have a UFC debut fight completed or on the books, Barrett (11-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is targeted to face Danny Henry at UFC on ESPN+ 31.

A person with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the booking following an initial report from The Scrap.

UFC on ESPN+ 31 takes place April 25 at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Neb. The event will stream on ESPN+.

Massachusetts’ Barrett punched his ticket to the big show with a win over Sang Hoon Yoo in August. After the fight, UFC president Dana White expressed finding inspiration in Barrett’s backstory. The 33-year-old regional veteran has won three of his past four outings.

Scottish featherweight Henry (12-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) had a five-fight winning streak snapped in March against Dan Ige. He was booked to fight Mike Davis in September, but withdrew for undisclosed reasons.

• Anthony Smith vs. Glover Teixeira
