Cory Sandhagen to fight Frankie Edgar at Feb. 6 UFC show

Cory Sandhagen and Frankie Edgar are getting another chance to square off inside the octagon.

MMA Fighting confirmed with people with knowledge of the matchup that Sandhagen (13-2) and Edgar (24-8-1) will meet in a bantamweight bout at a UFC event on Feb. 6 that is expected to take place on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. An official location is yet to be announced.

The fight was first reported by ESPN.

Sandhagen vs. Edgar was previously scheduled for a Fight Night event in Raleigh, N.C., this past January. However, Edgar was moved from that matchup to a headlining bout against “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung in Busan, South Korea, in December after Jung’s original opponent Brian Ortega withdrew due to injury.
