The UFC’s return to Sydney, Australia, is already headlined by a pivotal middleweight bout between Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold , but UFC Fight Night 55 on Thursday received its co-main event. UFC officials revealed that Ross Pearson and Al Iaquinta would meet in a lightweight match-up in support of the headliner. Pearson (16-7, 1 NC) briefly flirted with featherweight, but returned to the 155-pound division in late 2012, where he has since gone 3-1 with one no contest in the Octagon. Those victories include wins over George Sotiropoulus, Ryan Couture, and Gray Maynard.
