The UFC got its second memorable title fight in as many tries this year when Dominick Cruz and T.J. Dillashaw clashed for five highly competitive rounds at UFC Fight Night 81 with the bantamweight championship on the line. Boston’s TD Garden played host to Cruz’s (21-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) title-winning performance when he narrowly edged Dillashaw (12-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) by split decision in the FOX Sports 1-televised headliner to regain the belt he never officially lost.
