Marlon Vera and Cory Sandhagen will bid to become the UFC’s next title challenger at bantamweight this weekend, when they clash in a Fight Night main event.
Vera has won four fights in a row, with head-kick knockouts of former champions Dominick Cruz and Frankie Edgar punctuating that run. Meanwhile, Sandhagen has had tougher luck against ex-champions in recent times, losing narrow decisions to Petr Yan and TJ Dillashaw.
