The octagon returns to Iowa, bringing with it an explosive bantamweight showdown. UFC<\/a> Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Figueiredo heads to Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines this Saturday, featuring a clash between two top-five contenders.

Cory Sandhagen vs. Deiveson Figueiredo Predictions And Picks<\/h2>

Sandhagen’s height and reach advantages could prove troublesome for the more compact Figueiredo. The Brazilian brings devastating power and submission skills that have earned him nine knockouts and nine submissions in his career. Interestingly, both men have shared the octagon with top competition throughout their careers. Sandhagen’s battles with Petr Yan and Nurmagomedov showcased his elite skills even in defeat. Figueiredo’s legendary rivalry with Brandon Moreno defined the flyweight division for years before his move up in weight class.<\/p>
