There’s a lot on the line in Abu Dhabi for the bantamweight division as Cory Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov are the men on the marquee. Bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley is set to face Merab Dvalishvili later this year at UFC 306, which means a new contender may emerge after this weekend for whoever the champion may be.
Former title challenger Marlon “Chito” Vera and former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo are set to collide on the main card. The spotlight is on the 135-pound division inside Etihad Arena on Saturday night.
