Marlon “Magic” Moraes (23-6-1) is the top ranked contender in the Bantamweight division, and he’d love to get another chance at the title against the newly crowned champion. Moraes faced the previous champion Henry Cejudo last summer, and he lost by a third round knockout. However, Cejudo is gone now, having vacated his titles and retired so the former WSOF champion would obviously like a chance to face the man who claimed that vacant belt, Petr Yan.
Moraes beat another top ten contender last December, so either he or second ranked contender Aljamain Sterling should be next for Yan. Moraes needs to take down Sandhagen to keep the pressure on UFC boss Dana White to give him the next title crack.
Cory “The Sandman” Sandhagen (12-2) is the fourth ranked Bantamweight contender, but hes likely to fall if he loses to another top contender. Sandhagen was just submitted by Aljamain Sterling in the first round of their bout at UFC 250, which ended his 5-0 unbeaten streak in the UFC. That loss was doubly bad for Sandhagen as UFC president Dana White called the fight a title eliminator.
That means Sandhagen won’t immediately be up next for Yan even if he beats the top contender in the octagon. However, Sandhagen can only start a new winning streak with one fight, and this big challenge gives him a big opportunity.
