Two New Bantamweight Bangers Scheduled
The last time it happened was 2011. But it will happen again on October 30, when the UFC airs one of its tentpole "numbered" cards—in this case, UFC 267—as a non-pay-per-view event.
The card officially got interesting Tuesday when the company announced Cory Sandhagen (14-3) and Petr Yan (15-2) will square off for the interim bantamweight title, as champ Aljamain Sterling (19-4) continues his recovery from neck surgery.
