The UFC has added another heavyweight bout to the quickly-expanding UFC on Fox 10 card which is scheduled for the United Center in Chicago on January 25th. The bout will feature a fighter making his UFC debut against one that recently won in his first trip to the octagon. The UFC News twitter feed has got you covered:

Oliynik (often spelled is Alexey Oleinik) has competed in MMA for over 16 years and has compiled a record of 49-9-1, with 39 of his wins coming by submission. As the tweet above states, he's currently on a nine-fight winning streak and defeated legend Mirko Cro Cop by submission in his last bout.

Rosholt (9-1) overcame a rough start in his UFC debut against Walter Harris to take a unanimous decision victory at the TUF 18 Finale in late November.

The bout is likely to take place on the preliminary portion of the card. The headliner of UFC on Fox 10 sees Ben Henderson taking on Josh Thomson.
