Another intriguing lightweight fight has been added to the UFC 182 card in Las Vegas on January 3, as Rustam Khabilov will take on Danny Castillo.
Khabilov returns to action for the first time since his headlining loss to Benson Henderson in June. That fourth round submission was just his second career loss, and the first time he'd been stopped. It also halted a six-fight winning that included three straight wins inside to Octagon.
Castillo's got a lengthier history under the Zuffa banner, as this will be his 20th appearance combined in the UFC and WEC. It's his 12th fight in the UFC, and he hopes to bounce back from a split decision loss to Tony Ferguson to pick up his eighth win in that time.
UFC 182 will be headlined by the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship fight between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier.
