LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 32: Sandhagen vs. Dillashaw results throughout the night (Sat. 24th. July 2021) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Taking main event status in the promotion’s second consecutive week at the Apex facility — a high-stakes, potential bantamweight title-eliminator between the surging #2 ranked contender, Cory Sandhagen, and the returning former two-time division gold holder, T.J. Dillashaw.

The pairing of Sandhagen and Dillashaw was originally slated to headline a UFC Vegas 26 event back in May until Dillashaw was forced to withdraw from the bout after he had suffered a laceration to his right eye after finding himself on the receiving end of an inadvertent headbutt during a training session.

For Aurora finisher, Sandhagen, the dynamic striker is in the midst of a two-fight winning spree following his first round rear-naked choke loss to current 135lb best, Aljamain Sterling last June at UFC 250 — taking a pair of spectacular, highlight-reel knockouts over former title challenger, Marlon Moraes and former lightweight champion, Frankie Edgar.

Completing his two-year retroactive USADA suspension in January of this year, Dillashaw is slated to return for the first time since an unsuccessful flyweight title siege against Henry Cejudo at UFC Fight Night Brooklyn back in January of 2019 where he suffered a first round knockout loss. Post-fight, Dillashaw returned a positive test result for the banned substance, erythropoietin (EPO) — resulting in his two-year suspension.

The Angels Camp native’s most recent bantamweight outing came in the form of a first round knockout win over two-time foe and former champion, Cody Garbrandt in the main event of UFC 227 in August of 2018 — where he successfully defending his title.

Chael Sonnen Touts EPO in Light of T.J. Dillashaw’s UFC Return

MMA commentator and former UFC star Chael Sonnen recently gave an insight into his use of EPO in light of former bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw’s return from a two-year suspension this weekend that stemmed from his use of the drug. Sonnen is widely regarded as one of the best promoters in the history of the […]

Sonnen is widely regarded as one of the best promoters in the history of the UFC, and combat sports in general. His brash personality combined with his forward-focused fighting style garnered the attention of fans and critics from all over the world. His career in the UFC came to an end after the former middleweight title contender tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs on three separate occasions during the end of his tenure.

Dillashaw was suspended for two years by USADA for testing positive for an EPO following his flyweight title loss to Henry Cejudo in early 2019. Ahead of his highly-anticipated fight against Cory Sandhagen, Sonnen provided his personal experience with EPOs and why it’s considered a performance enhancer.

“EPO, of all the performance enhancers, I will tell you, without question, is my favorite,” Sonnen said. “A guy that takes EPO, particularly in training, can now just train longer. It directly affects your cardiovascular output.”

“I only share that because I’ve heard a number of guys say ‘well that didn’t help me.’ That could be true, but I’ll tell you EPO would not fall into that. Now because of USADA, we also now know how to take it and not get caught.”

The main purpose of EPO is to impact oxygen storage in the body, as well as output. Dillashaw claims that he used the drug to help with his brutal weight cut ahead of the fight with Cejudo, despite his former Team Alpha Male teammates accusing him of using the drug far earlier in his career.

Sonnen and Dillashaw are two of the biggest names in the history of the UFC, based on their success inside the octagon. But, their careers will always hold an asterisk next to them after each of them knowingly used performance enhancers to get an advantage. Dillashaw will have the chance to start fresh in the next chapter of his career this weekend at UFC Vegas 32.
