An exciting bantamweight matchup between Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson and Eddie Wineland is being targeted for the UFC's second card for Fox in January, according to a report from MMAWeekly.com.
Johnson is coming off a loss to Dominick Cruz for the UFC Bantamweight Championship in October, a five round battle that saw Cruz take each round for a unanimous decision win. The loss was just the second in Johnson's career, and first since his WEC debut in April of 2010.
Wineland was on a four fight winning streak into his UFC debut in March, but came up short in a decision loss to Urijah Faber. In his next fight, he was defeated - again by decision - in a bout against Faber's teammate, Joseph Benavidez in August.
UFC on Fox 2 will take place from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, on January 28, though no fights have yet been officially announced for the card.
