The Octagon is back in The Music City this weekend for the first time since March 2019 as UFC On ESPN 50: Sandhagen vs. Font takes place at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
The card is headlined by a pair of bantamweights fighting at a 140-pound catchweight due to late changes as Cory Sandhagen takes on Rob Font in the five-round headliner. Sandhagen was originally slated to fight Umar Nurmagomedov, but an injury forced him out, and Font moved up a couple of weeks for the headline spot in a pivotal bout.
In the co-main event, former UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Jessica Andrade takes on undefeated former TUF winner Tatiana Suarez. Also on the main card is a pair of light heavyweight bouts as Dustin Jacoby battles Kennedy Nzechukwu and Tanner Boser battles Aleksa Camur, plus a featherweight bout pitting Diego Lopes against Gavin Tucker.
