A pair of bantamweights will step into the cage at UFC 156 next year as Edwin Figueroa competes against Francisco Rivera. Figueroa has won two straight in UFC competition, most notably defeating Alex Caceres by split decision at UFC 143. Rivera initially defeated Rolande Delorme at UFC 149, but the result was changed to a no contest after a failed drug test. UFC 156 takes place on February 2nd at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada with Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar headlining.
