It's been well over a year since we last saw Erik Koch, and considering his dismal 1-4 run over his last five fights, the time off probably did him some good.
Now, the former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight No. 1 contender -- who returned to the lightweight division in 2014 -- makes his way back to the Octagon to battle fellow 20-something combatant Drew Dober.
When and where?
The upcoming UFC 195 pay-per-view (PPV) event, which takes place on Jan. 2, 2015 inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Koch (14-4) is coming off a technical knockout loss to Daron Cruickshank at UFC Fight Night 40, while Dober (15-7) was choked out by Efrain Escudero at UFC 188 back in June.
