James Krause vs. Daron Cruickshank set for UFC on FOX 16

The upcoming UFC on FOX 16 card continues to grow with the addition of a lightweight bout between Daron Cruickshank and James Krause.

UFC officials announced the matchup on Friday.

Cruickshank (16-6, 1 NC) had a very active 2014 with five Octagon appearances, racking up a record last year of 3-1, 1 NC.  His most recent win was a decision over Anthony Njokuani, but in December went to a No Contest with K.J. Noons due to an eye-poke.  His start to 2015, however, didn’t go as planned, as he was stopped by rising prospect Beneil Dariush.

Krause (21-7) is in need of a win, currently riding a two-fight skid with decision losses to Jorge Masvidal and more recently Valmir Lazaro.
