After snapping a two-fight skid in his most recent bout, Dennis Bermudez has his sights set on some of the biggest names in the featherweight division. That list happens to include UFC legend B.J. Penn.

Bermudez (15-5 MMA, 8-3 UFC) rattled off a seven-fight winning streak following a loss to Diego Brandao in his octagon debut. After snapping his losing skid with a unanimous-decision win over Tatsuya Kawajiri at UFC Fight Night 83 in February, Bermudez is looking for fights on the biggest stage possible.

“We’re getting back to the old Dennis Bermudez, man,” he told MMAjunkie Radio. “I want to be in there and be active. … I want to fight this summer and again in November. I want to be on the two biggest cards of 2016. I think I want to fight on UFC 200 and then fight on the first New York card. That would nail it right there.”

He even has his eyes on potential opponents for both cards. The list includes Penn (16-10-2 MMA, 12-9-2 UFC), as well as Ricardo Lamas (16-4 MMA, 7-2 UFC), who defeated him at UFC 180. He’s interested in some other names at the top of the 145-pound division.

“At UFC 200, maybe a rematch with Ricardo Lamas or B.J. Penn,” Bermudez said. “At (the first UFC show in New York), I don’t know – Max Holloway, Jose Aldo or Conor McGregor.”

Penn hasn’t had his hand raised in victory since a November 2010 win over Matt Hughes at UFC 123. In the time since, he’s racked up a 0-3-1 record and briefly retired from active competition.

His plans to return to the octagon were delayed after UFC officials initiated an investigation into allegations made against the UFC Hall of Famer.

Bermudez said he is targeting Penn for a very simple reason.

“Because he’s famous,” Bermudez said. “He’s a legend in the MMA world, and I already knocked off two pioneers or legends or big names in the MMA world. He would be a third. And he was one of my favorite fighters growing up.”
