Gallery Josh Emmett def. Michael Johnson at UFC Philadelphia: Best photos view 25 images

A key featherweight bout between Mirsad Bektic and Josh Emmett is the latest addition to July’s UFC on ESPN+ 13 lineup.

MMA Junkie verified the matchup between Bektic (13-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) and Emmett (14-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) with a person close to the situation following an initial report from MMA journalist Farah Hannoun. The person requested anonymity because the UFC has yet to make an official announcement.

UFC on ESPN+ 13 takes place July 13 at Golden1 Center in Sacramento, Calif., and is expected to stream on ESPN+.

Bektic, 28, will return to action from a more than 13-month layoff when he competes at UFC on ESPN+ 13. The fighter, who is No. 9 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie MMA featherweight rankings, has been dealing with injuries since picking up a signature win over Ricardo Lamas at UFC 225 in June.

Emmett, 34, meanwhile, will attempt to net his fourth win in his past five fights when he meets Bektic. After being out for more than a year himself due to facial injuries suffered in a knockout loss to Jeremy Stephens, the honorable mention in the latest 145-pound rankings returned to score a ferocious knockout of his own against Michael Johnson at UFC on ESPN 2 in March.

The latest UFC on ESPN+ 13 card now includes:

Urijah Faber vs. Ricky Simon

Cynthia Calvillo vs. Livinha Souza

Darren Elkins vs. Ryan Hall

Cezar Ferreira vs. Marvin Vettori

Beneil Dariush vs. Drakkar Klose

Sara McMann vs. Nicco Montano
