The Dominator Dominick Cruz made his comeback at the beginning of this year to regain the UFC Bantamweight title after dominating TJ Dillashaw. Now the two-time champ is set to return to action on a day prior to New Year’s eve at UFC 207.
For a few weeks, UFC bantamweight prospect, Cody Garbrandt has been trying to talk his way to a title shot as he feels he is the rightful contender. According to Bjpenn.com, the fight between the two is likely to turn into a reality for Christmas. But no reports from the UFC have confirmed any such speculations.
