TJ Dillashaw (17W-4L-0D) is a UFC veteran. He is coming into this fight after two years of inactivity: a suspension due to testing positive for a forbidden substance and a loss against Henry Cejudo (16W-2L-0D) in his last fight. Cory Sandhagen (14W-2L-0D), on the other hand, has only been beaten once in the UFC, by the current Bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling (20W-3L-0D), who managed to take his back in the 1st round of their fight and score a submission by rear naked choke. He comes off two wins and has been active even through the pandemic. Cory is a brown belt in BJJ and a former amateur world champion in kickboxing. TJ is a black belt in Muay Thai and a purple belt in BJJ. Cory is significantly younger than TJ (29 years old vs. 35 years old). Corey also has a significantly longer reach than TJ (70\" vs. 67\"). Cory Sandhagen is probably the favorite in this fight.
