The UFC ended a run of eight consecutive weeks of fight cards on Saturday with the promotion’s first card in San Antonio, Texas, since July 2019. In the headlining bout of Saturday’s event, Cory Sandhagen put the brakes to Marlon “Chito” Vera’s charge up the featherweight rankings with a split-decision win.
Sandhagen, who entered the bout as the No. 5 fighter in the official UFC featherweight rankings, ended Vera’s run of four straight wins — and four consecutive fight-night bonus-winning performances.
