Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga undercard was announced today for their event on September 14th on PBC on Prime Video and DAZN PPV at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. There’s not much to like about the Canelo-Berlanga undercard to make it an appealing event to purchase.

Cory Sandhagen is giving Umar Nurmagomedov his flowers. The longtime bantamweight contender lost a hard-fought decision to Nurmagomedov in the main event of UFC Abu Dhabi, putting his bantamweight title plans on hold once again. Sandhagen entered Saturday’s contest on a three-fight win streak, including a victory over recent title challenger Marlon Vera, but the loss to Nurmagomedov likely sends Sandhagen back to the middle of the pack for now.

Sean O’Malley’s coach Tim Welch refuses to back down from Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling. On Sept. 14, O’Malley defends his bantamweight title against Dvalishvili in the main event of UFC 306. The fight is a continuation of O’Malley’s rivalry with the Serra-Longo fight camp, as “Suga” won the belt by stopping Sterling, Dvalishvili’s friend and teammate. And given their history, things have gotten tumultuous between the two camps, starting with a series of messages back in May, and most recently resulting in a heated exchange of words at a media event this past week where Dvalishvili threatened to fight Welch in the street.

This is the UFC Abu Dhabi live blog for Marlon Vera vs. Deiveson Figueiredo, the featured bantamweight fight on Saturday evening. One of the most popular fighters in the bantamweight division, “Chito” is coming off a failed attempt to claim the bantamweight title, losing a one-sided decision to rival Sean O’Malley back in March. Still only 31 years old, Vera is now well outside the title picture, but a win over the former flyweight champion would be a big step towards getting back into the mix at 135 pounds.

Umar Nurmagomedov may have earned the biggest win of his career over Cory Sandhagen at UFC Abu Dhabi, but that doesn’t mean he’s satisfied with his performance. Despite winning at least four rounds on every scorecard, the undefeated bantamweight was still critical about some mistakes he made during the fight. In particular, Nurmagomedov pointed to Sandhagen’s ability to shut down his wrestling and grappling after finishing just five of 13 takedown attempts. While getting the victory was obviously most important, Nurmagomedov still expected better of himself.
