UFC Abu Dhabi Preview Show: Will Cory Sandhagen or Umar Nurmagomedov Earn A Bantamweight Title Shot?

Cory Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov face off in the main event of UFC AbuDhabi this Saturday and the stakes could hardly be higher. Though not confirmed by UFC officials, the winner of this main event fight figures to be next in line for the #UFC bantamweight title, after Sean O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili settle their business later this year. Will Sandhagen finally get a shot at the title or will Nurmagomedov prove the hype behind him is real? Ahead of this weekend’s UFC event, MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew is joined by Alexander K. Lee and Jose Youngs to preview the entire card, including the main event stakes between Sandhagen and Nurmagomedov, the other bantamweight main card fight between Marlon “Chito” Vera and former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo, the possible last ride of former interim champion Tony Ferguson, and more.
