UFC on FOX 16 has added three high profile match-ups to the fight card. T.J. Dillashaw returns to the Octagon against Renan Barao in the evening’s main event, with former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis taking on Myles Jury in the co-main event. Also added to the fight card is Miesha Tate vs. Jessica Eye.
UFC officials announced the match-ups on FOX Sports’ “America’s Pregame.”
Dillashaw (11-2) was expected to take on Barao in the main event at UFC 186, however a rib injury forced the champ out of action. Since winning the belt against Barao at UFC 173, Dillashaw has defended the title once against Joe Soto at UFC 177 in August of last year.
