The UFC's sixth offering on FOX is quickly filling up, and it's shaping up to be a very strong card.
A day after Demetrious Johnson vs. John Dodson for the UFC flyweight title and Donald Cerrone vs. Anthony Pettis were officially announced for the Jan. 26 card, a light heavyweight bout between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (32-10) and Glover Teixeira (19-2) has been added to the bill, as well. UFC.com reported the news Wednesday night.
This fight marks the final one on Jackson's current UFC contract. The former light heavyweight champion hasn't fought since he lost a unanimous decision to Ryan Bader at UFC 144 in February.
The light heavyweights were supposed to fight at UFC 153, but Jackson pulled out of the fight due to an injured elbow. Instead, Teixeira fought and defeated Fabio Maldonado on the Oct. 13 card via TKO.
Jackson enters the fight stuck in a two-fight losing streak, while Teixeira has won his last 17 fights in a row.
Below is a look at the updated UFC on FOX 6 card, which will be held at the United Center in Chicago.
