A featherweight banger has been added to the UFC’s return to Paris.Fan-favorite Trevor Peek returns from a nearly two-year layoff as he battles promotional sophomore Kurtis Campbell on the Sept. 19 event at Accor Arena.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementTwo people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.Peek (9-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) has been out of action due to injury since he broke his leg in preparation for a May 2025 bout vs. Jeong Yeong Lee. Known for his exciting fighting style, Peek aims to bring the violence each and every time out. This time, he’ll likely be further motivated as he makes his featherweight debut, coming off back-to-back losses.Campbell (8-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) attracted eyeballs during his rise on the U.K. regional scene. Known for his signature “Pink Panther” shorts (something he’s been able to carry over into the UFC), Campbell was the Full Contact Contender champion when he secured a UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in September with an 80-second knockout of Demba Seck. However, his debut did not go as he planned after he was finished by Danny Silva by second-round TKO stoppage.The UFC Fight Night 287 fight card includes:Kurtis Campbell vs. Trevor PeekMatthieu Duclos vs. Luis Felipe Dos SantosThis article originally appeared on MMA Junkie: UFC Paris adds featherweight banger to fight card
