#1 Jose Aldo will defend his title against #3 Ricardo Lamas on February 1st in Newark, NJ. Aldo vs. Lamas has been a long time coming. When #1 LW Anthony Pettis pulled out the FW title fight against Jose Aldo, Ricardo Lamas was left without a dance partner when the UFC opted to put #7 'The Korean Zombie' in for Pettis. UFC 169 will mark a year layoff for Lamas since his last win in the Octagon against Erik Koch earlier this year. Aldo is coming off a controversial TKO win over 'The Korean Zombie'.
NOTE; this fight has been added to the 'UPCOMING FIGHTS' tab.
