UFC on ESPN 67 saw Cory Sandhagen secure a lopsided victory over two-time flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo on May 3 at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa. Sandhagen scored a second-round stoppage when Figueiredo suffered a knee injury after a series of 50/50 battles on the ground. To no one’s surprise, Sandhagen called for a title shot after the win—something that seems to happen after virtually every fighter in the Top 5 gets his hand raised.
