UFC 250 adds Herbert Burns vs. Evan Dunham at catchweight

UFC 250 is a week away, but that doesn’t mean the promotion is done building the lineup.

A late addition to the June 6 card, the UFC is working on a bout pitting promotional sophomore Herbert Burns against veteran Evan Dunham. The fight is expected to take place at a catchweight of 150 pounds.

Friday, two people with knowledge of the situation told MMA Junkie verbal agreements are in place, but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. MMA Fighting was the first to report the news.

Burns (10-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) is coming off a first-round knockout over Nate Landwehr in his UFC debut. The finish was the first KO/TKO of Burns’ career.

At 38, Dunham (18-8-1 MMA, 11-8-1 UFC) makes his UFC return following a 19-month retirement. In February, Dunham’s return was booked for April in Lincoln, Neb., against Michael Johnson. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was canceled.

With the addition, the UFC 250 lineup includes:

Champ Amanda Nunes vs. Felicia Spencer – for featherweight title
Raphael Assuncao vs. Cody Garbrandt
Cory Sandhagen vs. Aljamain Sterling
Neil Magny vs. Anthony Rocco Martin
Sean O’Malley vs. Eddie Wineland
Alex Caceres vs. Chase Hooper
Ian Heinisch vs. Gerald Meerschaert
Brian Kelleher vs. Cody Stamann
