Former champions Robbie Lawler and Rafael dos Anjos are set to clash in the UFC on FOX 26 main event, UFC officials announced Thursday morning.

Lawler (28-11) rebounded from a July 2016 title loss to Tyron Woodley with a recent decision victory over Donald Cerrone at UFC 214. “Ruthless” has won six of his last seven outings, which include two championship defenses against Rory MacDonald and Carlos Condit, as well as a title win against Johny Hendricks in late 2014.
