The Ultimate Fighting Championship announced on Wednesday its main fight for the Dec. 15 card at Fiserv Forum.

Kevin "The Motown Phenom" Lee will take on Al Iaquinta in a lightweight bout at the sparkling new downtown arena.

The fight is a rematch of UFC 169 in 2014, when Iaquinta defeated Lee in a third-round decision.

UFC also announced that Milwaukee native Sergio Pettis will fight Rob Font in a bantamweight bout and Dan Ige will take on Jordan Griffin in a featherweight matchup. Chris De La Rocha is also slated to face Juan Adams in a heavyweight fight.

Pettis is coming off a loss to Jussier Formiga in a third-round decision on Saturday.

Other fights previously announced for the "UFC on Fox 31" card include Jared Gordon-Joaquim Silva (lightweight), Erik Koch-Dwight Grant (welterweight), Gerald Meerschaert-Jack Hermansson (middleweight), Drakkar Klose-Bobby Green (lightweight), Jessica Rose-Clark-Andrea Lee (women's flyweight) and Edson Barboza-Dan Hooker (lightweight).

A middleweight bout between Trevor "Hot Sauce" Smith and Zak Cummings was also added to the card.

Milwaukee has not hosted a UFC event since 2013. The city has been a strong training ground for mixed martial arts with Duke Roufus' Roufusport MMA Academy.
