After an extended layoff, veteran welterweight Mike Pyle is slated to return to the octagon at UFC 222. The Las Vegas Review-Journal today broke the news that Pyle (27-13-1 MMA, 10-8 UFC) will face Zak Ottow (15-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC) at the pay-per-view event, which takes place March 3 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Although the event’s bout order has not been announced, the fight is expected to serve on the preliminary card, which airs on FS1 and streams on UFC Fight Pass. Pyle, 42, suffered a pair of knockouts that preceded a long layoff from MMA. He was last seen in the octagon at UFC 207 in December 2016, where he was stopped in the first round by Alex Garcia. The veteran fighter is 2-5 in his past seven outings
