No. 3-ranked Marlon Vera (20-7-1) is looking for his fifth win in a row. In his previous bout last August, a native of Chone, Ecuador scored the fourth-round KO of former two-time champion Dominick Cruz. Prior to that he earned a unanimous decision against Rob Font, KO’d Frankie Edgar in Round 3 and defeated Davey Grant by UD.
Aurora, Colorado-born Cory Sandhagen (15-4) won his previous bout in September 2022 via fourth-round TKO against Song Yadong. Before that No. 5-ranked contender dropped a unanimous decision against former champion Petr Yan in his bid to lift the interim title and suffered the defeat by split decision against former two-time champion T.J. Dillashaw.
The co-main event is a women’s bantamweight clash between Holly Holm and Yana Kunitskaya. Former champion and Albuquerque, New Mexico native, Holm (14-6) is looking to rebound from the defeat by split decision suffered against Ketlen Vieira last May, which snapped her two win-streak. Kunitskaya (14-6, 1 NC) lost her previous bout in July 2021 by TKO in the first-round against Irene Aldana, following a pair of straight victories.
