Walter Harris meets Nikita Krylov at UFC on Fox 10 in Chicago

UFC on Fox 10 just got a little bit heavier...

Just days after a disappointing loss to Jared Rosholt at the Ultimate Fighter 18 Finale, Walter Harris has received his next booking from the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Harris will face Nikita Krylov when the UFC returns to Chicago, IL in January at UFC on Fox 10. The promotion announced the bout late Thursday night (Dec. 5, 2013).

UFC on Fox 10 is set to take place at the United Center in Chicago on January 25, 2014. The main card is headlined by a lightweight bout between former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson and former Strikeforce lightweight champion Josh Thomson.

Harris made his UFC debut in a tough decision loss to the highly touted Rosholt, with Harris impressing in the early rounds. It was only when Rosholt committed to using his wrestling that Harris was truly outwork on the ground.

For Krylov, this will be about vindication as his debut for the promotion against Soa Palelei at UFC 164 in Milwaukee, Wisc., was a complete and utter disappointment.

UFC on Fox 10 will air live on Fox, while the "prelims" undercard will be shown on Fox Sports 1 and MMAMania.com.
