Dominick Cruz explains return fight against Rob Font, rips Henry Cejudo: ‘That dude runs from me like I’m the plague’

Dominick Cruz didn’t get his first choice of comeback opponent, but he’s happy nonetheless.

Next month, Cruz returns to action after when he faces Rob Font in the co-main event of UFC Seattle on Feb. 22. It’s Cruz’s first fight in 30 months and for the former bantamweight champion it’s an opportunity to finally get back to doing the thing he loves.

“I’ve been wanting to take a fight, but I did need to get my body in order,” Cruz told GoodGuy/Bad Guy.
