In addition, UFC on FOX: JOHNSON vs. DODSON also features three prominent Chicago-based UFC stars and an exciting lightweight contest between surging contenders:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Chicago native and Elmhurst College grad Ricardo Lamas vs. Erik Koch in a featherweight fight that could earn the winner a title shot.
\n\u00b7 Chicago\u2019s Clay Guida making his featherweight debut against Japanese star Hatsu Hioki.
\n\u00b7 Chicago police officer Mike Russow vs. Shawn Jordan in a hard-hitting heavyweight bout
\n\u00b7 T.J. Grant vs. Matt Wiman in a fight between surging lightweights.<\/p>\n

All of the main card action airs live on FOX at 8 p.m. ET\/5 p.m. PT.<\/p>\n

\u201cChicago is a great fight town and we\u2019re excited to come back to the United Center on Jan. 26,\u201d UFC President Dana White said. \u201cThis will be our first big event on FOX for 2013 and we\u2019ve lined up an incredible card, including the flyweight title fight.
