Wineland confirmed the pairing via Twitter following an initial report from Red Eye Chicago. UFC on Fox 20 takes place at the United Center in Chicago on July 23; a headliner for the event has not been announced.
Wineland’s last victory came in the Windy City, as he scored a second-round technical knockout victory over Yves Jabouin at UFC on Fox 10 in January 2014. Since then, the 31-year-old Indiana native has dropped back-to-back fights against Bryan Caraway and Johnny Eduardo.
Saenz, meanwhile, saw a seven-fight winning streak snapped in a unanimous decision loss to Urijah Faber at UFC 194 in December. The 35-year-old Arizonan had bested Nolan Ticman, Iuri Alcantara and Sirwan Kakai in his first three Octagon appearances.
