Two top ten-ranked bantamweights will clash at UFC on Fox 16 in Chicago on July 25. UFC officials announced on Thursday that sixth-ranked Eddie Wineland (21-10-1) would take on tenth-ranked Bryan Caraway (19-7) at the United Center.
Wineland hasn’t fought since May 2014. He’s coming off a knockout loss to Johnny Eduardo in his last outing at UFC Fight Night 40. After the contest, it was discovered that Wineland suffered a broken jaw and recovery for the injury included wiring his jaw shut. The injury was the second time he suffered a broken jaw, nearly leading him into retirement.
