Since the entrance of the bantamweight division under the Zuffa fold, the UFC has since cashed in on the obvious talent of the weight class.
Champion Dominick Cruz has since set a bench mark of achievement in the division, making two successful title defenses against the likes of former titleholder Urijah Faber and spitfire Demetrious Johnson—both bouts were exciting throughout, with the Faber bout garnering high praise and “Fight of the Night” honors for their efforts.
Bonus checks for the 135-pounders have been in abundance as of late, and the impending bout between Scott Jorgensen and Jeff Curran should be no exception to a potential boost in pay.
The two men meet at this weekend’s UFC 137 pay-per-view event, rounding on the main card.
So, how will the fight pitting the two battle-tested men shake out?
