Cory Sandhagen is nearing a return to the Octagon.
Marcel Dorff of Eurosport Nederland has reported a fight between Sandhagen and Song Yadong is being targeted as the headliner for an upcoming UFC Fight Night in September. The location and venue have not been determined yet.
On a two-fight losing streak, the ’Sandman’ has not fought since losing a unanimous decision to Petr Yan for the interim UFC bantamweight championship at UFC 267 last October. Sandhagen also lost a razor-thin split decision to T.J. Dillashaw at UFC Vegas 32 this past July.
