Joe Lauzon vs. Takanori Gomi slated for UFC on FOX 16

A scrap between entertaining lightweight veterans is the latest addition to UFC on FOX 16, as Joe Lauzon and former Pride champion Takanori Gomi have agreed to dance on the July 25 card. The UFC announced the bout Thursday on FOX Sports 1's America's Pregame show.

Lauzon (24-10) saw his two-fight win streak snapped with a second-round TKO loss to Al Iaquinta earlier this year at UFC 183. A veteran of TUF 5, the 30-year-old Lauzon is one of the longest tenured fighters in the 155-pound division and is the current all-time UFC bonus leader, having racked up 13 post-fight awards over 10 years of service.
