UFC on ABC 7: B/R Main Card Staff Predictions

The UFC is headed back to Abu Dhabi this Saturday, and it's bringing along a Fight Night card that is arguably better than some of its recent pay-per-views.

Headlining honours for the show will go to a clash of top bantamweight contenders, with No. 2-ranked Cory Sandhagen taking on the unbeaten Umar Nurmagomedov, who's currently ranked No. 10. It's a compelling matchup on paper, and the winner will most likely receive the next shot at the winner of Sean O'Malley and Merab Dvalishvili's upcoming bantamweight title fight.

The co-main event will be contested at middleweight, where fan favorite Russian striker Shara Magomedov will look to take another big step towards the rankings opposite Polish bruiser Michal Oleksiejczuk.
