Bengaluru, December 14: The Ultimate Fighting Championship heads to Milwaukee to host the penultimate event of the year with UFC on Fox 31: Lee vs. Iaquinta 2 at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Saturday (December 15).
The event which will end UFC's seven years association with Fox is set to be be headlined by a lightweight rematch between former interim title challenger Kevin Lee and Al Iaquinta. While, another lightweight battle between Edson Barbosa and Dan Hooker will take the co-headliner slot.
