Hector Lombard vs. Brad Tavares among additions to UFC on FOX 23 card

The UFC will return to Denver on Jan. 28, and the promotion has officially added a pair of fights to the UFC on FOX 23 event.

Winless since March 2014, Hector Lombard is set to take on Brad Tavares in a middleweight bout at the Pepsi Center. The second fight recently announced features lightweights Jason Gonzalez and JC Cottrell.

Lombard (34-6-1, 2 NC) returned to the middleweight division in June, but lost by knockout to Dan Henderson. The American Top Team fighter moved back to 185 pounds after going 2-1 with one no contest as a welterweight in the UFC.
