For the first time a UFC title will be on the line on a Fox Sports 1 card as the former bantamweight champ returns to action against the man who holds the belt today.
UFC president took to the airwaves on Wednesday's UFC Tonight to announce that bantamweight champ T.J. Dillashaw would face former champ Dominick Cruz in the headliner of UFC Fight Night 81 on Fox Sports 1 in January. This marks the first time that a UFC title has been contested on the cable network.
Dillashaw is coming off two straight title defenses including a TKO win over ex-champ Renan Barao at UFC on Fox 16 in July.
