A bantamweight banger between Cory Sandhagen and TJ Dillashaw will headline UFC Vegas 32, taking place on July 24.

After suffering a humbling defeat to Aljamain Sterling at UFC 250, 'The Sandman' returned to his winning ways with two spectacular knockouts over Marlon Moraes and Frankie Edgar. Sandhagen will look to solidify his claim to a title shot with an impressive victory over Dillashaw in the upcoming fight this weekend.

Meanwhile, the 35-year-old former bantamweight champion is coming off a two-year suspension for breaching USADA's anti-doping policy. Dillashaw, whose last fight ended in a TKO loss to Henry Cejudo, will look to prove to the world that he does not need PEDs to compete at the highest level of mixed martial arts.

"One of my buddies, Cory Sandhagen, that I train with now...he'll get the better of me. He's not even in the UFC yet but he'll be a great fighter and you're just kind of like 'damn, i can't beat this guy. What's going on?'" TJ Dillashaw said.
