Koch (13-1) and Lamas (12-2) will square off in a featherweight battle with title shot implications. Koch, riding a four fight winning streak, was scheduled to face featherweight champion Jose Aldo at UFC 153 before injuries derailed the bout. Lamas has won all three of his fights since transitioning from the WEC. He most recently scored a unanimous decision win over Hatsu Hioki at UFC on FX 4.
Wineland (19-8-1), the former WEC bantamweight champion, recently earned his first win inside the octagon. He scored a second round knockout of former title challenger Scott Jorgensen at UFC on FX 3. Pickett (22-6) has notched back-to-back impressive finishes. He submitted Damacio Page at UFC on Fuel TV 2 then knocked out Yves Jabouin in his last outing at UFC on Fuel TV 5.
Perez (12-4) will enter his bout against Bloodworth (6-2) on a roll having won seven consecutive fights. Perez, who trains at Jackson’s MMA, last competed at UFC 150 where he defeated Ken Stone by knockout in just 17 seconds. Bloodworth will look for his first win in the UFC in his second outing. He suffered a second round technical knockout loss to Mike Easton at UFC Live 6 in October 2011.
UFC 155 takes place from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on December 29th. The event is headlined by a heavyweight title fight between champion Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez.
