Dominick Cruz, the former UFC bantamweight champion, is making a highly anticipated comeback to the octagon, potentially for his last fight in a storied career.

According to multiple sources familiar with the UFC’s scheduling, Cruz is slated to face Rob Font in a co-main event at the highly anticipated UFC Seattle on February 22. This matchup was first reported by ESPN, a broadcast partner of the UFC, generating excitement among fans eager to see Cruz return to action.

Cruz’s return marks his first appearance in the UFC since his knockout defeat at the hands of Marlon Vera during the main event of UFC San Diego in August 2022. Known as “The Dominator,” Cruz previously secured victories over Casey Kenney and Pedro Munhoz, both by decision. Recently, he hinted at wanting “one last dance” in early 2025, leaving fans to speculate whether this upcoming fight will be his final one in the octagon, solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest bantamweights in history.

Rob Font, who recently broke a two-fight losing streak with a surprising victory over Kyler Phillips at UFC Vegas 99 in October, is eager to capitalize on this opportunity. The 37-year-old fighter from Massachusetts will be making his 18th appearance in the octagon, showcasing his skills, including an impressive knockout of Adrian Yanez at UFC 287 in April 2023, which has solidified his reputation as a formidable opponent.

The UFC Seattle card will also feature a thrilling main event that pits former two-division champion Henry Cejudo against the rising star Song Yadong, adding to the excitement and intensity of the fight night.
