ESPN’s Ariel Helwani<\/a>, the UFC is discussing booking Sterling vs. Sandhagen for the June 6 event that the promotion hopes to hold at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n“I reported Tuesday that the UFC is hoping their June 6 will be able to take place at the Apex in Las Vegas, but that hasn’t been finalized yet because the Nevada State Athletic Commission isn’t up and running. Nevada opening up would be a gift from above for the UFC because it would be easier running all the events there, and I suspect whenever Nevada opens for business many events will take place. Amazingly, that card is a month away and we still don’t know what the main event will be. Will it be Amanda Nunes vs. Felicia Spencer, or something bigger? One fight that has been discussed for that card is Aljamain Sterling vs. Cory Sandhagen, which is a potential No. 1 contender fight at 135, but it hasn’t been signed yet,” Helwani wrote.<\/p>\n
Right now there are still a ton of moving parts so there’s no telling where the June 6 event will take place or even if Sandhagen and Sterling will be a part of the event. But the UFC is all about putting on the biggest fights, and if the opportunity to match up these two elite bantamweights comes about, look for the matchmakers to book it.<\/p>\n
Who do you think wins, Aljamain Sterling or Cory Sandhagen?<\/p>\n
