The Bully is back and coming to Los Angeles.

Lightweight Gray Maynard makes his return to the Octagon against Fabricio Camoes at UFC 176 at Staples Center on Aug. 2.

The 155-pound bout joins a card headlined by a rematch between featherweight champion Jose Aldo and No. 1 contender Chad Mendes.

Known as one of the toughest in the 155-pound division, eighth-ranked Maynard (12-4-1) hasn’t been in the Octagon since suffering a brutal TKO first-round loss to Nate Diaz at The Ultimate Fighter Season 18 finale in November.

His trilogy against Frankie Edgar will go down as one of the best rivalries in division history. The three-time All-American wrestler out of Michigan State handed Edgar his first loss at Ultimate Fight Night 13 in 2008. Less than three years later, with Edgar holding the lightweight title, they fought to an epic draw at UFC 125. In their third fight, Edgar defended his belt and handed Maynard his first loss with a fourth-round TKO.

Maynard recently changed training camps, moving from American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose to Power MMA & Fitness in Arizona.

Camoes (14-8-1), a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighting out of San Diego, has lost his last two fights — a unanimous-decision loss to Melvin Guillard at UFC 148 and tapping out to an armbar by Jim Miller at UFC 168.

Other fights on the card include women’s bantamweights Shayna Baszler vs. No. 10 Bethe Correia and No. 6 flyweight Jussier Formiga vs. No. 9 Zach Makovsky.
