Chico Camus vs. Yaotzin Meza bantamweight bout added to UFC on FOX 10 in Chicago

A pair of bantamweights will meet when the UFC returns to Chicago in January.

Chico Camus (13-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC) and Yaotzin Meza (20-8 MMA, 1-1 UFC) have been booked for a fight at UFC on FOX 10. UFC officials announced the new booking on Friday.

UFC on FOX 10 takes place Jan. 25 at United Center in Chicago and will be the promotion’s third straight January trip to that venue for a FOX show. The card is headlined by a lightweight bout between former UFC and WEC champ Benson Henderson and former Strikeforce champion Josh Thomson. The main card will air on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and MMAjunkie.

Camus got back in the win column in August in front of his home fans in Milwaukee with a decision win at UFC 164 over Kyung Ho Kang. That got him back on track after his first UFC loss, a submission setback against Dustin Kimura at UFC 156. Camus, who trains at Milwaukee’s renowned Roufusport camp, won his UFC debut in August 2012. Now he gets to fight not far from home just two hours down the road in Chicago.

Meza is coming off a return to victory, as well. In July, he made his bantamweight debut and submitted John Albert in the second round at UFC on FOX 8. His first UFC fight was one he took on less than a week’s notice in Australia against Chad Mendes this past December, and Mendes stopped him less than two minutes into the fight. Now the California hopes to start his first winning streak since 2011.

With the addition, the latest UFC on FOX 10 card now includes:

Benson Henderson vs. Josh Thomson
Darren Elkins vs. Jeremy Stephens
Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Stipe Miocic
Chico Camus vs. Yaotzin Meza
