Herbert Burns, Daniel Pineda targeted for UFC 252

A featherweight contest has been added to UFC 252.

Herbert Burns and Daniel Pineda are set to clash at the next pay-per-view on Aug. 15 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, according to MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz via sources.

Combate was the first to report the possible booking.

Burns (11-2) has won five straight fights, including a submission win over Evan Dunham at UFC 250 earlier this year.

Pineda (26-13) will make his UFC return for the first time in a little over six years.
