Cory Sandhagen wants his UFC bantamweight title shot after putting on a masterclass against Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC Des Moines.

Sandhagen was back in the Octagon in the main event of Saturday's UFC card in Des Moines, Iowa, taking on former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo in a clash of top-five bantamweights. The 33-year-old ended up winning in style, dominating the former flyweight champ in the first round and finishing him after an apparent knee injury in Round 2.

Cory Sandhagen and Deiveson Figueiredo are believable bantamweight title challengers. Saturday might be their last chance to prove it. Sandhagen and Figueiredo headline UFC Fight Night in Des Moines,
