The UFC keeps its busy July schedule rolling Saturday with UFC on ESPN 27, which takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and airs on ESPN/streams on ESPN+.
One of the most anticipated non-title headliners of the year tops the card. Streaking bantamweight contender Cory Sandhagen (14-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) is set to welcome former teammate and training partner T.J. Dillashaw (16-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) back to the octagon in what will be the former champion’s first fight since a failed drug test removed him from the sport for more than two years.
The winner of the 135-pound matchup is likely to get a title shot, but it’s not the only fight on the card with high stakes.
