Cory Sandhagen says he believes a title shot should be his next destination should he get past veteran Rob Font on the main event of UFC Fight Night on Saturday. The five-round battle of ranked bantamweight contenders will anchor the main UFC fight card starting at 9 p.m. ET from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Once the division’s most celebrated prospect, Sandhagen lost his first three fights against top-five competition, including a bid for the vacant title against former champion Petr Yan. But he has bounced back with a pair of wins against top-10 fighters and another over the No. 7-ranked Font could catapult him into the title conversation. Font hopes to spoil the party with his second consecutive upset victory.
Sandhagen is a -315 favorite (risk $315 to win $100), while Font comes back at +230 in the latest UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Font odds. In the co-main event, women’s strawweight contenders take the spotlight as Tatiana Suarez (-425) meets Jessica Andrade (+300).
