A bout between a pair of featherweights looking for a return to the win column has been booked for the UFC’s return to San Jose, Calif., this summer.

Noad Lahat (7-1 MMA 0-1 UFC) will meet Steven Siler (23-12 MMA, 5-3 UFC) at UFC on FOX 12. The possibility of the bout first was mentioned on Wednesday’s edition of “UFC Tonight,” and a source with knowledge of the booking confirmed it to MMAjunkie. The course spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the fight.

UFC on FOX 12 takes place July 26 at SAP Center in San Jose. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Lahat vs. Siler is expected to be part of the night’s preliminary card.

Lahat will be fighting in his backyard. He trains at the esteemed American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose. “Neo” started his pro career 7-0 to get the call from the UFC. But in his promotional debut in March, he was stopped by Godofredo Pepey’s “Performance of the Night” flying knee at UFC Fight Night 38 in Brazil.

Siler, a veteran of Season 14 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” started his UFC career 5-1. But he dropped a unanimous decision to Dennis Bermudez at the promotion’s third “Fight for the Troops” show in November, then was stopped in 77 seconds Rony Jason at the same show in Brazil at which Lahat made his UFC debut. His resume includes wins in the UFC over Mike Brown and Cole Miller, but he’ll be looking for his first victory in nearly a year.

The latest UFC on FOX 12 card includes:

Anthony Johnson vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
