Once again, Dominick Cruz is on the comeback trail, but this time there won’t be a warm-up fight.
Dana White announced during UFC Tonight on Wednesday that Cruz will face reigning bantamweight king T.J. Dillashaw in the headliner of a UFC Fight Night card on Jan. 17. It will be the first title fight to be televised on Fox Sports 1. The event will air on a Sunday evening from a site to be determined after the NFC Championship game.
