Dominick Cruz says he’s feeling strong and healthy for his return to the octagon at UFC 249. His first weight cut in more than three years, however, is not particularly enjoyable. Cruz (21-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) competes in his first bout since December 2016 when he challenges Henry Cejudo (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) for the UFC bantamweight title in Saturday’s co-headliner, which takes place at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla., and airs on pay-per-view. Cruz’s body has endured a lot in recent years, including multiple surgeries, and Cruz admits he’s feeling both sides of that heading into fight night
