Utimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is cranking out free fights to help promote the upcoming UFC Fight Night 81 main event, scheduled for Sun., Jan. 17, 2016, inside TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
That's where T.J. Dillashaw will put his Bantamweight strap on the line against rival and former titleholder, Dominick Cruz. "The Viper" claimed the 135-pound belt in a resounding upset over ex-pound-for-pound stalwart, Renan Barao, at the UFC 173 pay-pay-per (PPV) event back in May 2014.
Can Dillashaw turn back the fighter he's so-called trying to emulate in Cruz, or will "The Dominator" reclaim the strap he never lost?
