After accepting a six month suspension from USADA, Tim Means will be returning in August at UFC 202 as he will meet Sean Strickland in a welterweight bout.
The fight booking was made official by the UFC on Thursday.
UFC 202 will come from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on August 20 and will be headlined by a rematch in the welterweight division as Nate Diaz meets current UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor.
Means (25-7-1) will enter this fight following a stoppage victory in December against John Howard at UFC Fight Night 80 and he has won five of his last six fights. He was scheduled to return in February, but a USADA violation forced him out of the event and it was recently announced that he accepted a six month suspension for the USADA violation. Strickland (18-1) is currently on a three fight winning streak and he is 5-1 in the UFC. His most recent win came in June as he defeated Tom Breese by split decision at UFC 199.
