Former Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz is set to return to the Octagon for his first fight of 2022 against Marlon Vera in the main event of UFC on ESPN 41.

All fighters made weight, although there are several catchweight contests to note. Rescheduled from UFC on ESPN 40 last week, Jason Witt vs. Josh Quinlan transformed into a 180-pound catchweight bout, while Angela Hill vs. Lupita Godinez is booked at 120 pounds as it was moved up several months to this event.

Coming off of impressive wins over Casey Kenney and Pedro Munhoz, "The Dominator" is looking to show that he still has plenty left in the tank at 37. While the former bantamweight king lost to two-division champion Henry Cejudo after a layoff of over three years, Cruz (24-3) has shown off his signature footwork and striking in his last two bouts. The San Diego native officially weighed 135 pounds on the dot for his first main event assignment since January 2016.

After an up-and-down 2020 that saw "Chito" lose to Yadong Song and Jose Aldo in between defeating Sean O'Malley, the Ecuadorian has put together an impressive three-fight winning streak. After winning a decision over Davey Grant, Vera (19-7-1) knocked out former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar with a brutal front kick and won a thrilling five-round battle with Rob Font. Vera stepped on the scale at 135.5 pounds for his second headlining matchup in a row.

UFC on ESPN 41 will air live on ESPN and ESPN+ in its entirety on Saturday. Prelims begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, while the main card starts at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
