UFC on FOX 16 open workout photos gallery for 'Dillashaw vs. Barao 2' in Chicago

MMAFighting.com photographer, Esther Lin, was on the scene at UFC Gym in Chicago, Illinois, on Thursday (July 23, 2015) to shoot several notable mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters at the UFC on FOX 16: "Dillashaw vs. Barao 2" open media workouts.

Naturally, the two men who will collide in the main event of the evening, bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw and division No. 1 contender Renan Barao, were on the scene to promote their 135-pound showdown that will be beamed on network television this weekend (Sat., July 25, 2015), inside Chicago's United Center.

Safe to say it was a packed house.

The two fighters who will co-headline the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event -- Miesha Tate and Jessica Eye -- were also among the "Windy City" contingent required to be photo friendly, as "Cupcake" and "Evil" worked up a sweat and showed off some of their patented moves.
