Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson vs. Ryan Bader headlines UFC on FOX in Newark

The first UFC on FOX event of 2016 will be headlined by a consequential light heavyweight showdown.

Anthony "Rumble" Johnson will meet Ryan Bader in the main event of the Jan. 30 card at Newark's Prudential Center. The news was broken on Wednesday's edition of UFC Tonight.

Johnson (20-5) has won 10 of his past 11 fights, with the only loss along the way a submission defeat to Daniel Cormier in a UFC 187 bout to fill the vacant light heavyweight title. "Rumble" rebounded from the loss with a second-round knockout of Jimi Manuwa at UFC 191.
