Championship double dip! The men’s and women’s Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight belts will both be on the line on the same night (Sat., Dec. 30, 2016) at UFC 207, which will take place inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Dominick Cruz will likely defend his 135-pound title in the pay-per-view (PPV) co-main event against No. 6-ranked division contender, Cody Garbrandt, according to MMAFighting.com. The Cruz vs. Garbrandt clash will set the table for the main event of the evening between women’s 135-pound champion, Amanda Nunes, and former queenpin, Ronda Rousey.
Cruz is in the midst of an impressive three-fight win streak after spending almost three years on the sidelines recovering from various leg-related injuries and surgeries.
