The two were initially set to rematch at UFC 177 in August, but Barao passed out while walking out of a sauna before weigh-ins and was pulled from the fight. They were later scheduled to battle at UFC 186 in April, but Dillashaw suffered a fractured rib. Now they will finally lock horns in the main event of Saturday’s UFC on Fox 16 from the United Center in Chicago.
