A lightweight contest between Japanese superstar Takanori Gomi (35-10 MMA, 4-5 UFC) and “Fight Night” bonus machine Joe Lauzon (24-10 MMA, 11-7 UFC) has been added to UFC on FOX 16.

Featuring a bantamweight title fight between current champ T.J. Dillashaw and former title holder Renan Barao, UFC on FOX 16 takes place July 25 at Chicago’s United Center.

The 36-year-old Gomi fought most recently in September, when he suffered a disappointing first-round loss to Myles Jury in Japan. Prior to the result, Gomi had gone 3-1 in his previous four appearances, including wins over Isaac Vallie-Flagg, Mac Danzig and Eiji Mitsuoka.

Meanwhile, the 30-year-old Lauzon also seeks to rebound from a recent loss, falling short in January against Al Iaquinta. The result snapped a two-fight winning streak for Lauzon, who has downed Michael Chiesa and Mac Danzig in his previous appearances.
