UFC Vegas 32: Fights worth your time
- TJ Dillashaw vs Cory Sandhagen – Dillashaw will receive a serious litmus test at UFC Vegas 32. If he can upend a dangerous and elite talent in Sandhagen after two years away, he is on course to get back into the bantamweight title picture immediately. For Sandhagen, a win would make him the undisputed top contender for the winner of the Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan’s championship rematch. It’s a very big matchup at 135-pounds.
- Adrian Yanez vs Randy Costa – This fight is a front-runner to win the fight of the night. Yanez and Costa are fast-rising bantamweights that like to take the center of the cage and pressure opponents. At its best, this fight could be an absolute war. At its worst, it will still be an entertaining scrap between two talented strikers in their 20s.
- Julio Arce vs Andre Ewell – Arce versus Ewell is a fight on the prelims that also has dark horse FOTN potential. Arce returns after 20 months away healthier after double-elbow surgery. He has always had a fan-friendly pressure style that will make for an interesting clash with the flashy stylings of “Mr. Highlight.”
