The fight card will be headlined by two title fights as bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz (19-1) meet interim bantamweight champion Renan Barao (33-1) in a unification bout. Also, Jose Aldo (23-1) defends the featherweight title against Ricardo Lamas (13-2) in the co-main event.

“We put together a fight worthy of Super Bowl weekend,” UFC President Dana White said. “It’s the fight that everyone has been waiting for – champion vs. champion – Dominick Cruz vs. Renan Barao for the 135-pound title. Dominick Cruz is the reigning champion and hasn’t lost a fight in six years. He takes on the interim bantamweight champion Renan Barao, who’s been on a tear with a 30-fight win streak and hasn’t lost in eight years. Two of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, two of the best 135-pounders on earth: the world is finally going to find out who is the undisputed 135-pound champion!

“Plus, the unstoppable Jose Aldo takes on the man everyone has been waiting to see him fight, Ricardo Lamas. Aldo has been the 145-pound champion since 2009 and he’s torn through the featherweight division. But Ricardo Lamas has heavy hands, great wrestling and will be the toughest test of Aldo’s career.”
