Former UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz will make his octagon return in his hometown against surging contender Marlon Vera.
Cruz is looking to make another attempt at regaining the UFC Bantamweight Championship. Since losing the title to Cody Garbrandt by decision at UFC 207 on Dec. 30, 2016, he has been on a mission to win it back.
After four years without a fight, Cruz had his second opportunity to reclaim the title against Henry Cejudo at UFC 249 on May 9, 2020. However, Cejudo defeated Cruz by TKO, leaving fans wondering if Cruz had his last chance to fight for a UFC championship.

His last win was against Rob Font by unanimous decision at UFC Vegas on Apr. 30. Vera has wanted to fight Cruz for some time and has shared that the former champion turned down a fight against him in the past.
