PASCAL KRAUSS VS. MIKE STUMPF JOINS UFC ON FOX 6 IN CHICAGO
BY MMAJUNKIE.COM STAFF ON NOV 27, 2012 AT 9:00 AM ET
Two welterweights will return from extended layoffs in January at UFC on FOX 6.
Well-rounded German competitor Pascal Krauss (10-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and Illinois-based fighter Mike Stumpf (11-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) are set to meet at the event.
UFC on FOX 6, the UFC's first network-televised event of 2013, takes place Jan. 26 at United Center in Chicago.
The main card, including a title fight between featherweight champion Demetrious Johnson and challenger John Dodson, airs on FOX, and FX and Facebook are expected to carry the prelims. Krauss vs. Stumpf likely will be part of the prelims.
Krauss fights for the first time since a decision loss to John Hathaway at UFC on FOX 3 in May. The defeat was the first in a five-year pro career for Krauss, who then scratched from a September matchup with Gunnar Nelson due to rib and chest injuries.
He now meets Stumpf, a longtime XFO fighter who signed with the UFC in 2011 after putting together a 5-1 run on the regional scene. However, in his 2011 promotional debut at UFC Fight Night 25, he suffered a submission loss to T.J. Waldburger. He now fights for the first time in 16 months.
The latest UFC on FOX 6 card now includes:
Champ Demetrious Johnson vs. John Dodson - for flyweight title
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson vs. Glover Teixeira
Donald Cerrone vs. Anthony Pettis
Clay Guida vs. Hatsu Hioki
Erik Koch vs. Ricardo Lamas
T.J. Grant vs. Matt Wiman
Shawn Jordan vs. Mike Russow
