(#2) Cory Sandhagen vs. TJ Dillashaw
Odds (via Bet MGM) - Sandhagen (-190), Dillashaw (+160)
Breakdown - Tomorrow night marks the return of former bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw after a 30-month layoff due to a positive test stemming from a performance enhancing drug. It won't be a warm welcome back to the octagon for the former champion as he'll stand across from top contender Cory Sandhagen in a potential title eliminator.
The 29-year old Sandhagen comes into this weekend's main event fresh off of back-to-back vicious knockouts of Marlon Moraes and Frankie Edgar. The two straight knockouts were just what the doctor ordered for the Colorado-native after being submitted by current champion Aljamain Sterling back at UFC 250. Prior to the submission loss, Sandhagen was riding a seven fight win streak dating back to his days in LFA in 2017.
Former 135-pound champion TJ Dillashaw hasn't competed since being knocked out by former two-division champion Henry Cejudo in January 2019. Prior to the loss against Cejudo, Dillashaw was the reigning bantamweight champion and held consecutive wins against Cody Garbrandt (twice), John Lineker and Raphael Assuncao and also holds a pair of wins over longtime division champion Renan Barao.
Pick - Dillashaw (+160)
