DOMINICK CRUZ WILL fight for just the second time since 2011 this weekend.
The former UFC bantamweight champion will take on current 135lbs title-holder TJ Dillashaw in the main event at UFC Fight Night 81 in Boston.
Due to a series of injuries, Cruz has seen just 61 seconds of action in the last four-and-a-half years — a demolition of Takeya Mizugaki at UFC 178 in September 2014.
It’s been a frustrating time for one of the sport’s best pound-for-pound fighters, but at least he’s been able to see the funny side of it.
Cruz poked fun at himself at today’s open workouts, turning up on crutches before entering the octagon with a forward roll.
Panic averted. Phew!
