UFC stream: Sandhagen vs. Figueiredo free Fight Night watch along

UFC Des Moines is here, and fans are treated to a dynamite bantamweight main event.

In the marquee fight, elite mixed martial artists Cory Sandhagen and Deiveson Figueiredo go to war.

Title implications are on the line as Sandhagen is one solid win away from challenging for the belt. He's been calling for a fight with Sean O'Malley, and could well fight the winner of Merab Dvalishvili vs. O'Malley at UFC 316.

Because of Sandhagen's unique position, Figueiredo could usurp him as the No. 1-contender with a dominant victory, overcoming his action-packed loss to Petr Yan earlier this year.

UFC Des Moines also welcomes the return of undefeated middleweight prospect Bo Nickal as he takes on his biggest challenge yet for a middleweight ranking. Standing in his way is former ONE Championship double-champion Reinier De Ridder. Nickal weighed an astonishing 222 lbs to begin fight week, so it should be a clash of giants in tonight's co-main event,
