Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion Frankie Edgar, who will finish up his hall-of-fame career in the bantamweight division, will make his return to 135 pounds against No. 2-ranked title contender Cory Sandhagen.
And he’ll do it as the +305 underdog.
That’s according to the bookmakers at BetOnline.ag, who peg “The Sandman” as the -370 betting favorite. That line marks the widest of “The Answer’s” combat sports career, who hasn’t been favored to win a fight since rematching Cub Swanson at UFC Fight Night 128.

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk was honored alongside Weili Zhang for their “Fight of the Year” in the promotion’s UFC 248 pay-per-view (PPV) co-main event last March.
And while the Polish puncher has been laying low in the months that followed, which is understandable when you consider the damage incurred against “Magnum,” Jedrzejczyk insists we haven’t see the last of her inside the Octagon. Related
“The price of being one of the best,” Jedrzejczyk wrote on social media. “Much more to come. Haven’t said the last word yet. It’s an honor to share the Octagon with such warriors. Pleasure to put on hell of fights, performances and shows for you guys every time I step into the octagon. Onto the next one. Remember to dream big and chase it.”

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones, who recently vacated his title to move up in weight, has been spending most of his free time pumping iron to prepare his body for the transition to heavyweight. Related
The reigning middleweight champion also plans to chase the 265-pound title and one day collide with Jones but has no interest in putting on any extra weight, because his success in mixed martial arts (MMA) is a direct result of his skills, not his size.
