For the first time, the UFC octagon is in Des Moines, Iowa for tonight’s UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Figueiredo event at Wells Fargo Arena.
The event is headlined by a bantamweight bout between No. 4 ranked Cory Sandhagen and former flyweight champion and No. 5 ranked bantamweight Deiveson Figueiredo.
