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.

Tony Ferguson hasn’t won a fight in over five years. For some context, what was going on in June 2019? Henry Cejudo was about to win his second UFC title. Alex Pereira wasn’t even a Glory double champion yet, while Ilia Topuria was more than a year away from signing to the UFC roster. Neither Alexander Volkanovski nor Israel Adesanya’s title reigns had begun.

Mackenzie Dern entered her main card Strawweight battle versus Loopy Godinez in pretty dire straights. Though ranked at No. 7 in the world, Dern’s last two performances weren’t great. Jessica Andrade knocked her out badly towards the end of 2013, then earlier this year, Amanda Lemos scored a ton of punishing shots en route to a dominant decision win. Worse than the outcomes themselves, Dern appeared to be regressing, which happens when you suddenly stop working with your acclaimed boxing coach.
