Tatsuya Kawajiri, one of the most highly regarded lighter weight fighters in the world, will next compete inside the UFC's octagon.

The Japanese featherweight, who most recently fought for DREAM in December 2012, has signed a deal with the UFC, sources close to the situation told MMAjunkie.com. While no first fight has been set, sources said Kawajiri hopes to make his UFC debut in January in Singapore.

Long time coming for Crusher. He's looked great since dropping to 145.

 

EDIT:

In related news, Katsunori Kikuno has also reportedly signed with the UFC:
