The UFC's return to Boston could get another injection of violence.
Paul Felder announced Wednesday night on Twitter that he'll be facing Daron Cruickshank in an exciting lightweight showcase bout at UFC Fight Night: Dillashaw vs. Cruz on Jan. 17 at TD Garden. Cage Pages was the first to report the news.

Felder (10-2) has lost two in a row, but they were both close decisions against top lightweights, Edson Barboza and Ross Pearson.
