UFC San Antonio: Which fighters are headlining the highly-anticipated March 25 card?

The highly anticipated bantamweight championship-eliminator bout at UFC San Antonio between top-ranked fighters Marlon Vera and Cory Sandhagen, was originally scheduled to take place at UFC Vegas 69, has been rescheduled and relocated. The fight has been upgraded to the main event and will now take place on March 25th at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.

Vera is a top-tier fighter in the 135-pound division, having won four consecutive matches and five out of the last six. He's a crowd-pleaser, having earned Fight of the Night bonuses, and his most recent victory, a head-kick knockout of Dominick Cruz at UFC San Diego, was particularly impressive.

Sandhagen is on a mission to earn another title shot after coming up short in his previous attempt for an interim belt against Petr Yan at UFC 267. He bounced back with a commanding victory over Song Yadong via a cut stoppage last September.

The upcoming UFC San Antonio has encountered a setback, as welterweight fighter Sean Brady has been forced to withdraw from his highly anticipated bout against Michel Pereira on March 25 due to an injury. The extent of the injury is unknown at this time. It is unclear if Pereira will remain on the card and face a replacement opponent or wait until a later date to book his next fight. For Brady, this news is particularly disappointing as he was aiming to recover from the first loss of his career, which came by way of knockout at UFC 280 against Belal Muhammad.
