Top ranked bantamweight Cory Sandhagen outwrestled short-notice opponent Rob Font in the main event of UFC on ESPN 50. After five rounds, Sandhagen stood as the winner via unanimous decision with 50-45 on all three judges’ scorecards.

After the fight, “The Sandman” made his case to fight for the title next.

“I wanted to put a more exciting fight on. I’ve been dealing with a lot of elbow problems recently, and I think I tore my tricep in the first round.” I’m a wrestler now, apparently,” Sandhagen said in the post-fight interview. “Sterling and O’Malley, I’ll see you guys in Boston. I’ve got next.”

In the co-main event, undefeated strawweight contender Tatiana Suarez tapped former strawweight champion Jessica Andrade with a second-round guillotine choke. Suarez definitelyput herself into the title conversation with the win.

$50,000 post-fight bonuses

The promotion handed out five Performance of the Night bonuses after Saturday’s card. Asu Almabaev, Carlston Harris, Diego Lopes, Dustin Jacoby and Tatiana Suarez was all awarded with an extra $50,000.
