The contracts have been signed and a bantamweight rematch between T.J. Dillashaw and Raphael Assuncao has been made official for the July 9 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, ESPN.com reported Tuesday.
Assuncao (23-10) defeated Dillashaw (12-3) in a highly debatable split decision which earned Fight of the Night honors at UFC Fight Night 29 in Brazil on Oct. 9, 2103. That was Dillashaw's only fight in a nine-stretch span which saw him rise to the UFC bantamweight title. He lost the belt to Dominick Cruz via decision in January in Boston.
