UFC bantamweight Dustin Pague fought twice in the month of June, and though he lost the second bout to Ken Stone after taking it on short notice, it looks like he's getting right back to work. According to a report from Paul Flatden at USCombatSports.com, Pague will welcome UFC newcomer Chico Camus at UFC 150 next month in Denver, Colo.

Camus, a product of Duke Roufus' Roufusport gym, brings an 11-3 record into his Octagon debut, including a three fight winning streak. Though he suffered a TKO loss in his second career fight in 2009, his other two losses have come by decision, and he owns six wins by stoppage himself.

Pague made his UFC debut through The Ultimate Fighter's 14th season, though he lost to John Albert in quick fashion at the finale event for that season. He then submitted Jared Papazian in the first round at UFC on FX 3 on June before dropping a split decision to Stone at UFC on FX 4 on short notice.

UFC 150 takes place on August 11 from the Pepsi Center in Denver, headlined by the Lightweight Championship rematch between Ben Henderson and Frankie Edgar.

Penick's Analysis: Roufusport's presence in the UFC continues to grow, with Erik Koch challenging for the Featherweight Championship in October, Anthony Pettis trying to line himself up for a Lightweight Championship bout, and Alan Belcher looking to get into a Middleweight Championship bout. Camus is another competitor who could potentially be a threat at the top of the bantamweight division. This is his chance to make a big splash and continue the run of excellence the gym has come to be known for.
