Almeida confirmed the pairing on social media following an initial report from MMA journalist Farah Hannoun. UFC Fight Night takes place at the Barclays Center and is headlined by a flyweight championship tilt between Henry Cejudo and T.J. Dillashaw. The card marks the promotion’s debut on ESPN+.

The 27-year-old Almeida has lost three of his last four Octagon appearances. Most recently, the Brazilian suffered a second-round TKO defeat to Rob Font at UFC 220 on Jan. 20. Almeida is 5-3 in the UFC and 21-3 as a professional overall, with all but one of his triumphs coming inside the distance.

Sandhagen has kicked off his promotional tenure with back-to-back TKO wins against Austin Arnett and Iuri Alcantara. The Elevation Fight Team representative is 9-1 over the course of a pro tenure that began in 2015.
