Cory Sandhagen and Mario Bautista are set to run it back in a bantamweight rematch at UFC 329 on July 11 in Las Vegas.
The matchup will see Sandhagen return against the opponent he submitted in their first meeting at UFC on ESPN+ 1 in January 2019, a bout Bautista accepted on short notice after stepping in to replace John Lineker.
Since that debut setback, Bautista has won 11 of 13 fights and recently stopped Vinicius Oliveira in the main event of February’s UFC Vegas 113 card, with an eight-fight win streak only halted by Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 321 in October.
Sandhagen enters UFC 329 at 4-2 in his past six bouts, having dropped two of his last three, including a decision loss to then-champion Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 320 in October.
