Donald Cerrone meets Adriano Martins at UFC on FOX 10 in Chicago

The UFC’s two most recent “Submission of the Night” winners have been booked to face each other in January.

Fresh off his win a week ago against Evan Dunham, Donald Cerrone (21-6 MMA, 8-3 UFC) will meet Adriano Martins (25-6 MMA, 1-0 UFC) in a lightweight bout when the UFC returns to Chicago for UFC on FOX 10. UFC officials announced the new fight booking on Saturday.

UFC on FOX 10 takes place Jan. 25 at United Center in the “Windy City.” It will be the third straight January the UFC has been to the venue for a FOX card the week prior to the NFL’s Super Bowl. The main card will air on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and MMAjunkie.

Cerrone got back on track last week in Las Vegas in a fight that was evenly matched on paper and with oddsmakers. But he tore through Dunham, eventually catching him with a second-round triangle choke to pick up the $50,000 submission bonus. That erased his rough outing against Rafael dos Anjos in August, a fight he dropped by unanimous decision. The bonus was his seventh in 11 UFC fights to go along with five he won while in the WEC.

Martins stretched his winning streak to six fights when he won his UFC debut earlier this month at UFC Fight Night 32 in his native Brazil, a week before “Cowboy” won his bonus. In his first fight since a January Strikeforce win over Jorge Gurgel, Martins picked up “Submission of the Night” for his kimura win over Daron Cruickshank.

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

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