Welcome to the UFC Nashville live commentary for the key showdown of Cory Sandhagen and Rob Font, which takes center stage this Saturday in Nashville.
Sandhagen, one of the world’s premier bantamweights, was originally slated to square off against the much-anticipated prospect, Umar Nurmagomedov. A potential title shot was the prize at stake. However, an injury sidelined Nurmagomedov, leading Sandhagen to face the exceedingly dangerous Font on a brief notice. “The Sandman” urgently needs this win to solidify his pursuit of the 135-pound title.

Font, a steady fixture in the top-10 bantamweight list, was initially paired against Song Yadong for UFC 292 later this month. Following an injury to Song, Font stepped up to meet the on-fire Sandhagen. The “New England Cartel” member, coming off a victory over Adrian Yanez, now has an opportunity to surge towards title contention with a remarkable display this Saturday.
