The UFC has added a pair of bouts to its upcoming card in Phoenix, Ariz. In the lightweight division, Joe Lauzon takes on Marcin Held, while Bryan Caraway meets Jimmie Rivera in a bantamweight bout.
Headlined by Yair Rodriguez vs. B.J. Penn, the event is scheduled for Jan. 15 at the Talking Stick Arena.
Lauzon (26-12) enters the bout coming off a ‘Fight of the Night’ split decision loss to Jim Miller in August. In his previous bout, the lightweight veteran finished Diego Sanchez in the first round.
Held (22-5), on the other hand, looks for his first win under the UFC banner after suffering a unanimous decision loss to Diego Sanchez in his promotional debut on Nov.
