UFC action continues this weekend for UFC Vegas 32 in what is set to be one of the best non-PPV cards on the schedule this year.

Cory Sandhagen is set to take on former UFC champion TJ Dillashaw in what’s being considered a number one contender fight. The winner will likely be the next to challenge for the bantamweight title once Aljamain Sterling attempts to defend his belt against Petr Yan.

UFC Vegas 32 Main Card odds

Here are the opening odds for the UFC Vegas 32 main card as per WynnBET.

  • Cory Sandhagen (-190) vs TJ Dillashaw (+145)
  • Aspen Ladd (-215) vs Macy Chiasson (+160)
  • Kyler Phillips (-275) vs Raulian Paiva (+210)
  • Darren Elkins (+14o) vs Darrick Minner (-190)
  • Miranda Maverick (-130) vs Maycee Barber (+100)
  • Mickey Gall (+160) vs Jordan Williams (-215)

Sandhagen was one fight away from earning a bantamweight title shot back at UFC 250 when he fought Aljamain Sterling, but was defeated via submission in under 90 seconds. Sterling would go on to win the title, but Sandhagen has bounced back in a big way by winning two straight fights including a KO win over Frankie Edgar in his last night out.

Meanwhile, TJ Dillashaw hasn’t fought since losing against Henry Cejudo in a fight for the flyweight championship in January 2019. At the time, Dillashaw was the bantamweight champion, but had his belt stripped away from him after testing positive for a performance enhancing substance. He’ll attempt to get back on track to reclaim his title against Sandhagen this weekend.

The women’s bantamweight division is desperate for a contender, and the co-main event between Aspen Ladd and Macy Chiasson may decide the next contender for champion Amanada Nunes, who has cleaned out the division twice over.

Ladd is coming off a TKO victory over Yana Kunitskaya, but she hasn’t fought since December 2019. Chiasson enters the bout on a two fight win streak, defeating Marion Reneau via decision in March of this year.

While the card may not be stacked with household names, the fights are a display of fantastic matchmaking. Fireworks are guaranteed for Saturday night at the UFC Apex Center.
