Dominick Cruz returns vs. Casey Kenney at UFC 259
Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports The former bantamweight king will return at UFC 259, and will not be fighting in a five-rounder for the first time in over six years. According to a report from MMA Junkie, Dominick Cruz will meet Casey Kenney at the March event.
Cruz (22-3, 5-2 UFC) returned from a three-and-a-half year hiatus in March when he stepped in on very short notice to fight then-bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo. He was stopped in the second round of that bout, the first TKO stoppage of his career. Despite entering the UFC over nine years ago, he has competed just seven times in the Octagon due to a variety of serious injuries.
