Report – Dominick Cruz books fighting return in UFC Seattle co main event in February

Former two-time undisputed bantamweight champion, Dominick Cruz will enter the Octagon for the first time in more than two-years next month, making a return in the co-headliner of UFC Seattle, as he takes on perennial contender, Rob Font.

Cruz, who has fallen from the top-15 rankings at bantamweight amid inactivity, has been sidelined since he took main event honors in a title-eliminator against Ecuadorian star, Marlon Vera at UFC San Diego back in 2022, suffering a thunderous fourth round high-kick knockout loss.

As for his incoming opponent, Font, the number nine ranked contender snapped his two-fight losing skid at UFC Vegas 99 back in October, turning in a unanimous decision victory against Kyler Philips.
