the UFC Flyweight title.\u00a0 Reigning title holder Henry Cejudo faces current bantamweight champion, T J Dillashaw, in a much-anticipated matchup.\u00a0 Many have questioned if Dillashaw will be able to make the weight cut down to 125lbs, but if he does and is victorious in the fight, he will be the next <strong>\u201cchamp champ\u201d<\/strong> within the UFC holding belts in two different classes.\u00a0 Cejudo meanwhile is confident in retaining the title and has stated that he will be too much for his challenger.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere on the card is the match-up between women&#8217;s flyweight challengers Paige Van Zant and Rachel Ostovich which was rescheduled from 20<sup>th<\/sup> November, after Ostovich was assaulted by her husband resulting in a broken orbital bone.\u00a0 Also on the card is former NFL player Greg Hardy who is making his UFC debut \u2013 this has proved controversial in some quarters as Hardy has a criminal conviction for assaulting his ex-girlfriend, which resulted in 18 months\u2019 probation.\u00a0 Rachel Ostovich has publicly stated that she has no problem sharing the card with him and is \u201ccool\u201d about Hardy\u2019s
