UFC Fight Night live stream: How to watch Dominick Cruz vs Marlon Vera online and on TV this weekend

An intriguing clash of bantamweight contenders will headline this Saturday’s UFC Fight Night card, as former two-time champion Dominick Cruz faces Marlon Vera.

Cruz returned to mixed martial arts in 2020 after three-and-a-half years away, immediately challenging then-champion Henry Cejudo for the bantamweight gold. Cruz, 36, came up short but has won his two subsequent bouts on points, most recently beating Pedro Munhoz in December.

Meanwhile, Vera is on a three-fight win streak, his impressive knockout of Frankie Edgar sandwiched between decision wins against Rob Font and Davey Grant.

The Ecuadoran, 29, enters this weekend’s event in San Diego as the UFC’s fifth-ranked bantamweight, while American Cruz is No 8 at 135lbs.
