Bantamweight contenders Marlon Vera and Cory Sandhagen will meet in the main event of this weekend’s UFC Fight Night.

Vera is on a four-fight win streak, with two of those victories having come as knockouts of former world champions. Last time out, “Chito” stopped Dominick Cruz with a brutal head kick, and in 2021 he knocked out Frankie Edgar with a well-timed front kick. Meanwhile, Sandhagen secured a TKO of Song Yadong in September to snap a two-fight losing streak, though both of those defeats were narrow decisions against former champions Petr Yan and TJ Dillashaw.

The winner of Saturday’s main event may be next in line for a title shot, after Aljamain Sterling defends the belt against Henry Cejudo this spring.

In the co-main event, former champion Holly Holm takes on Yana Santos in a women’s bantamweight clash.

Here’s all you need to know.

The event will take place on Saturday 25 March, at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.
