On Saturday, August 3, the UFC returns with a packed schedule that rivals any numbered event of the summer.

UFC on ABC 7 will be headlined by a very interesting bantamweight bout between top-ranked Cory Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov. The winner of the bout will put himself in a good position for a title shot.

The co-main event will see a middleweight clash between rising star Sharabutdin Magomedov and Michał Oleksiejczuk.

The main card also features fighters such as Marlon Vera, Deiveson Figueiredo, Tony Ferguson vs. Michael Chiesa and Mackenzie Dern.

Kutateladze takes on Vucenic

For European MMA fans, the lightweight bout between Swedish-Georgian Guram Kutateladze and former Cage Warriors champion Jordan Vucenic is one of the highlights of the UFC on ABC 7 broadcast.

The fight marks the promotional debut of Vucenic, who took the fight on short notice. He fought as late as July 20 at Cage Warriors 174, where he defeated Adrian Kepa via first-round submission.

Kutateladze hopes to end a two-fight losing streak after suffering setbacks against strong fighters Elves Brenner and Damir Ismagulov.
