Highly ranked lightweight and former PRIDE champion Takanori Gomi will return at World Victory Road: Sengoku 6 event to meet Sergei Golyaev.

The Japanese-based organization added that fight, and two others, to its official fight card overnight.

Also on tap for the Nov. 1 event, which takes place Nov. 1 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, is a bout between light heavyweights Muhammed Lawal and Fabio Silva.

The organization also confirmed a bout between UFC veteran Joe Doerksen and former King of Pancrase Izuru Takeuchi that MMAjunkie.com mentioned on Tuesday.

Gomi most recently fought in August at World Victory Road: Sengoku 4 and defeated Bang Seung Hwan via unanimous decision. The PRIDE 2005 Lightweight grand prix winner has lost just once in his past 17 fights, which included a loss to Marcus Aurelio in April 2006 and a no-contest with Nick Diaz in February 2007. (Diaz defeated Gomi via submission, but the outcome was overturned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after Diaz tested positive for marijuana.)

He'll now meet Golyaev, a member of the Russian Red Devil Club who's riding a three-fight win streak. The M-1 veteran will return to professional competition for the first time in nearly two years.

Lawal, meanwhile, will look to build off his pro MMA debut at World Victory Road: Sengoku 5 Middleweight Grand Prix, where he defeated 65-fight veteran Travis Wiuff with a first-round TKO. "King Mo", a former NCAA Division II amateur wrestling champion who fell short in a bid for the 2008 Olympics, will now meet Silva, a former K-1 fighter who snapped recent back-to-back losses with a second-round KO of Kazuo Takahashi at World Victory Road: Sengoku 3.
