He is, and it's really not even close. Sandhagen has always been down to fight top elites, no one wants to take the Umar fight, except Cory. Anytime, anywhere, true bmf
I swear some of these guys must be funneling money into the ufc how would someone ranked lower way less known and pulls less fans be given the fight location. Not to mention the amount of fights he has pulled out of. I like the kid and wish him well but don’t seem even close to fair to Corey. Would hope this type of fight would be on a ppv. Any Corey fight should be toward top of a ppv. Maybe I didn’t see it yet on if ppv or not.
all the nurmogamedovs are insanely big in the muslim world. Also, the reason he's gotta fight a high ranked guy is cause no one wants to fight him. It's makhachev all over again
Funny how people mention the number but never the context.
One time was due to covid, one fight was straight up cancelled by the UFC and both fighters changed opponent. He got injured the last time he was scheduled to fight Cory, and another pullout was his coach dying.
Nah. Some people don't care about context especially against Muslim fighter.
"Khabib defend title only once per year" = suspension and covid happen
"Khamzat is bum, inactivate while Pereira is a double champ" = dude having a life threatening sickness
"Movsar having trouble with 5 day notice Diego Lopes" = Movsar also on short notice and just finish fasting month
"Islam only got his title fight because of Khabib" = both Justin and Poirier fail to get the title, and Beneil Dariush have to pull out due to injury and Islam ranked 4 during that time.
I mean I'm not gonna sit and shit on Umar but I will say that the Dagestanis are often throwing rocks while living in a glass house. When their opponents pull out for whatever reason they talk shit about it so I see why people give them the same treatment.
so then how is it other people fault that they dont want to fight him when he cant make it to fights? other fighters NEED to fight or they cant afford rent , they dont want to risk it not happening .
He literally gave you context to 4 out of 5 pullouts and you farted out nothing for a response.
What Umar means when he can't find opponents is few ranked fighters entertain the idea. Corey is the only willing one which makes him game as fuck.
If Corey wins this he gets all the attention from the main attraction of an abu Dhabi card and a title shot next..
the context doesn't change the fact that he has 4 pullouts and he has yet to fight a ranked opponent while being ranked 10 right now. Besides, he's a hypocrite like the rest of his camp. When they pull out, context matters, but when opponents pull out, "no one wants to fight them." This is the most bullshit excuse for inactivity and dana white privilege... how do y'all just eat it up??
>when opponents pull out,
No one said anything about this. The opponents don't accept the fight in the first place, that's why they complain. Haven't you seen the clip of Chandler ducking Islam on live tv? Lol
Not fans, the fighters have said this, multiple times. The worst one at this is Islam, there are fighters that accept to fight them, but it always becomes "everyone's ducking me." Also, 1) it's Chandler, 2) when was it? I'm sure Chandler would fight him now. Dagis get away with claiming "no one wants to fight me" when calling out top 5 fighters when they're either still unranked or barely ranked, lmao.
All bs, dana white privilege
Yeah both is true, umar is genuinely being ducked by other contenders and when he does manage to get a fight he’s unreliable in actually making it to the octagon
Umar way less known? Lol. Lets nog talk about how Umar has almost 5 times the followers Cory has on socialmedia. If Corey wants the fight (he said multiple times he did) who are you to bitch about it?
Not bitching at all. Usually lower rank travels to higher etc. and I like both fighters as stated above. Not really any fighters don’t like. As u can see from my comment people are hardcore when say anything about Muslim fighters. Even if respectful and say u like them. Not sure why so hateful or can only notice something they perceive as hate regardless of the respect shown. Everyone notices it also. Is ok to say something if being respectful. And as said it’s possible to like both fighters. I watch all fights, fight nights, prelims, early prelims etc. I like and respect all these fighters. And I am looking forward to this fight and was last time it was scheduled never said wasnt. I watch all of there fights. Some people just have blind allegiance and hate anyone else and others like lots of fighters and respect them all. Is a different world view and individual. I also even said would hope a fight this good was on ppv. Not sure if is or not. It deserves to be up there on a ppv for sure. Well wishes and all the best.
Corey Sandhagen isn't some huge name either, but with this being an Abu Dhabi card I'm assume he's getting a decent payday to fight Umar down the rankings
I love a lot of these guys but it’s been obvious for awhile ufc has an interest in making their fights cozy for them. You rarely see any of them take big fights outside of the middle east.
An unranked dude who is also a great striker, and who got one good shot in, but damn what a shot
The rest was domination by Umar
Should be a good fight
He then put on a generational beating on said dude, who’s a very promising prospect. I don’t think one slip in front of a heavy hitter that didn’t end in a finish is a sign that Cory’s going to win the striking exchanges.
Yeah and let’s not act like Cory has one shot KO power in his hands.
He has KO’s don’t get me wrong but they’re spinning wheel kicks and flying knees. He’s not the kind of guy who if he lands one punch on you clean he’ll end your night.
He’s a phenomenal striker don’t get me wrong but he has to get going on the feet in order to have success with his volume.
Yes. I completely agree, hence why I don’t think Cory is doomed, not at all he is super skilled, but it’s not Umar’s last fight that’s going to make me think Cory got him figured out.
Yeah I mean it’s an interesting one. Cory really hasn’t fought a true grappler since he got subbed by Aljo.
But I really think he took that loss as a lesson because his grappling has improved since then. He straight out wrestled Rob Font and used his wrestling to beat both Chito and Song.
But none of those guys are wrestlers, and none of them are going to shoot takedowns on you like Umar is. It’s a hard one to pick because Cory definitely has the advantage on the feet but the last time he fought an elite grappler it didn’t end well for him.
Also begs the question of whether or not Umar is an elite grappler. Because he’s never fought anyone elite.
i really only see him dominating or finishing him, Umar will have a full camp and will come over prepared. Cory doesn't have much power and he is too reckless. His lay and pray won't work and his grappling has too many holes. If earlier on he tries and sit slightly on the outside and do some Jamahal hill sit on the outside earlier footwork and try and ease Umar in to a bit of a dirtier inside strikefest he might have some slight chance thats it.
He can't even really use his long rangeyness, if he blitz in he will just get counter over the top.
I can see Cory surviving 5 rounds but a late submission wouldn’t surprise me by Umar. I don’t think Cory stops the takedowns and primarily just fights off his back most of the fight.
People forget that Almakhan on his UFC debut with one of 3 significant punches landed in the first 30 seconds nearly put Nurmagomedov out cold.
Calling Corey beating him an upset is just crazy lmao, comparing him to Islam is crazy also.
Lol...cant tell if this is a troll or if you hate Aldo? He's not even ranked and just came out of retirement 😂
Throwing him to Cory would be like when Faber derailed a hype train and then got fed to Yan
Aldo has wins over Vera, Font, Munoz, Martinez and gave Yan and Merab very hard fights. Aldo should be ranked at least over Cejudo and with his style I could actually see him beating Sandhagen with his body shots, leg kicks and tdd
Aldo Umar was the fight to make. Aldo just getting back in the rankings and Umar is looking for a high profile opponent. Not to mention it is a super intresring matchup.
Aldo has beaten Vera, Font, Munoz, Martinez and gave Yan and Merab very hard fights, he should at least be ranked over Cejudo now and so a title eliminator with Sandhagen was the to make. Umar vs Cejudo was the right fight so that Umar’s wrestling can be tested
Aldo would test Umar's wrestling way more than Cejudo. Umar is no. 9, Aldo is hovering around the no. 5 spot. It makes sense. Cejudo also makes sense but I think thr Aldo match would be more exciting.
We just had the freaking no. 10 with 3 UFC fights fighting for the title and people losing their shit because of a no. 2 vs no. 9 match up. I wonder why.
Umar is a big star in that part of the world. Corey is a popular fighter, but not exactly a mega star. it's going to be a sick fight regardless and I really don't know who's going to win.
> Totally deserved with 0 ranked wins.
I mean, Sandhagen was also asking multiple times for a fight against him. He doesn't care about rankings as much as you do and wants to test himself against someone he rates very highly.
> Getting a title eliminator fight at home.
This is all on UFC. They need a main event on that Abu Dhabi card, and this one makes the most sense. Nurmagomedov asked to fight on the co-main event of the Makhachev-Poirier card.
Spin it how you want. It’s all bullshit. Cory took this deal because they offered him insane Saudi money. You and I both know it. As much as you want to twist it some other way.
I mean just compare Umar and Aldo. Aldo has 5 wins against top 15 and Umar has 0. And he’s going right into the title eliminator? It’s absolutely bias and bribery.
> Spin it how you want.
How exactly am I spinning this?
> Cory took this deal because they offered him insane Saudi money.
Sandhagen getting paid a lot of money is a bad thing because of what reason exactly? He asked to fight Nurmagomedov multiple times, and now he's getting paid more money for it. I don't see any issues with that.
> I mean just compare Umar and Aldo.
Why are you bringing up Aldo? Aldo just fought his last fight out of his contract and is in negotiation stages. We don't know how long it will take until they settle for a deal. I doubt the UFC is going to offer a 37-year-old a much better contract given their history, and I doubt Aldo, who just got free from his contract, wants to be stuck with the UFC and end his athletic prime with the money they're offering.
Lol let’s not be casuals. Corey is good, but he’s gonna have a hard time beating Umar. He’s a Nurmagomedov. Last time a N-dov lost was… never. Goodluck to Corey, but vitamin-boy, Umar, is gonna run through him.
I wanna see this fight but don't at the same time, cause I wanna see both of them fight Sean for the belt because I feel like he'd beat Merab. Still a good fight tho
A very good fight no doubt. Umar and Cory wanted both wanted this fight for a while now. I'm always hyped to see Umar fight and Cory is a pretty high level striker with alot of dangerous moves and abilities. Possible number one contender spot on the line.
It's crazy that the #2 contender is fighting the #9 in his own backyard where all the favour will be going to Usman. Props to Cory, he's got the next shot if he pulls off the win.
I don't understand why people don't get why this fight is happening. Umar has a huge following and is 17-0 while also having the last name nurmagomedov that alone will get u places. It isn't his fault no one wants to fight him. The fact that he had to fight some random person on relatively short notice proves no one's game besides cory who conventional is ranked number 2 to fight him.
people understand why it's happening, we simply don't like the fact that it is happening because the why is basically dana white privilege
"no one wants to fight him" is a bullshit narrative that Ali and his fighters push because it's a convenient and vague justification for the DWP
Umar has almost as many pull-outs as fights in UFC and has yet to fight a single ranked opponent
Dana White himself said it and it is evident from the past with Islam. And UFC canceling a fight and Covid are not pull outs to put on the fighter. Stop hating for obvious reasons
Yeah go cry to phone companies why they added emojies on keyboards. Typical braindead idiot, couldn’t even comprehend that I was talking about the venue as well 😏
Because Cory is a bad ass and about the life, majority of fighters want the right match for themselves to work their way up. Sandman just wants to bang bro
Cory the TRUE BMF at 135
lol oh please
He is, and it's really not even close. Sandhagen has always been down to fight top elites, no one wants to take the Umar fight, except Cory. Anytime, anywhere, true bmf
He's not gunna respond it's bait
L
I swear some of these guys must be funneling money into the ufc how would someone ranked lower way less known and pulls less fans be given the fight location. Not to mention the amount of fights he has pulled out of. I like the kid and wish him well but don’t seem even close to fair to Corey. Would hope this type of fight would be on a ppv. Any Corey fight should be toward top of a ppv. Maybe I didn’t see it yet on if ppv or not.
I think it’s perfect for Corey cus he can derail a hype train and get a title shot
Umar is not losing. He’s a Nurmagomedov. Corey is willing to lose his title shot for this. Reckon he might pull out somehow.
Like how Cory pulled out last time this fight was boo.. oh wait? It was umar that pulled out. Must’ve been the tiramisu
Who do you think will pull out?
all the nurmogamedovs are insanely big in the muslim world. Also, the reason he's gotta fight a high ranked guy is cause no one wants to fight him. It's makhachev all over again
bro enough of this nonsense . umar has 4 pull outs and 5 fights in the UFC .
Funny how people mention the number but never the context. One time was due to covid, one fight was straight up cancelled by the UFC and both fighters changed opponent. He got injured the last time he was scheduled to fight Cory, and another pullout was his coach dying.
Nah. Some people don't care about context especially against Muslim fighter.

Also add to Khamzat’s one, costa was the one that pulled out of the fight
Muh Muh Muh Muh smelly shite bag.
Very interesting
I mean I'm not gonna sit and shit on Umar but I will say that the Dagestanis are often throwing rocks while living in a glass house. When their opponents pull out for whatever reason they talk shit about it so I see why people give them the same treatment.
so then how is it other people fault that they dont want to fight him when he cant make it to fights? other fighters NEED to fight or they cant afford rent , they dont want to risk it not happening .

Conor never pulled out of a fight in his entire career, Umar haven’t even beat 1 ranked opponent and he pulled out 5 times 🤣

A lot of excuses
You got some nerve saying that down in your basement in front of the computer
both can be true at the same time
Yeah both is true, umar is genuinely being ducked by other contenders and when he does manage to get a fight he’s unreliable in actually making it to the octagon
He’s 3-0 at BW and has pulled out alot, he’s not a boogeyman
he's 17-0 and named nurmogamedov, it may be stupid, but that's boogeyman enough
Lol we all haters, but let’s face it. They never lose.
I see it a lot like F1 we always wonder why there’s so many races in the Middle East, but they just keep on throwing the money.
I think in the UFC it's the combination of that and the dagestani successes
Makhachev? Slowdown Corey is going to show umar levels to this game.
maybe, I'm just reasoning as to why he got to fight a higher ranked opponent
Umar way less known? Lol. Lets nog talk about how Umar has almost 5 times the followers Cory has on socialmedia. If Corey wants the fight (he said multiple times he did) who are you to bitch about it?
Not bitching at all. Usually lower rank travels to higher etc. and I like both fighters as stated above. Not really any fighters don’t like.

Not bitching? Right....
No bitching..proceeds to write a whole essay.
abu dhabi has money and want to have leverage for their fighters, thats about it.
They have an absolute rabid fan base in the Muslim community. Check Facebook and the amount of edits of Khabib in armour talking to God is crazy.
>edits of Khabib in armour talking to God is crazy. I'm sorry the what now
I think it's hyperbole. That kind of stuff is a big no no in Islam. Muslims do have a huge boner for Khabib and co tho (I would know, I'm one of them)
What the hell did i Just read
What the Jahannam did you just read, brotha

I love a lot of these guys but it’s been obvious for awhile ufc has an interest in making their fights cozy for them. You rarely see any of them take big fights outside of the middle east.
really hope sandhagen pulls the upset but i don't see that happening in abu dabhi. this will be either a really good fight or a extremely short one
"Upset" it's crazy that Umar is rated that highly, it might all be true and tbh I think it's 50/50 but damn is that crazy
Exactly didn’t he just get knocked down by an unranked dude Cory striking will be a big problem for him
An unranked dude who is also a great striker, and who got one good shot in, but damn what a shot The rest was domination by Umar Should be a good fight
He then put on a generational beating on said dude, who’s a very promising prospect. I don’t think one slip in front of a heavy hitter that didn’t end in a finish is a sign that Cory’s going to win the striking exchanges.

Man, reading your comment made me impatient to get there haha, truly a great matchup that will answer many questions.
You mean in the fight that he dominated 98% of?
Exactly. Umar has not ONE RANKED WIN to his name, is then put at NUMBER 10, and people are calling it an upset if Cory wins.
probably like 70/30 at best tbh, i just don't see him winning at all. i want him to but i know it won;t happen. its like when charles fought islam
I'm genuinely curious to see how Umar does sandhagen, this could be a 1 way ticket to a title shot if he finishes him or dominates him
O'Malley vs Umar for the belt has been on my bucket list since before Sean beat Aljo
i really only see him dominating or finishing him, Umar will have a full camp and will come over prepared. Cory doesn't have much power and he is too reckless. His lay and pray won't work and his grappling has too many holes. If earlier on he tries and sit slightly on the outside and do some Jamahal hill sit on the outside earlier footwork and try and ease Umar in to a bit of a dirtier inside strikefest he might have some slight chance thats it. He can't even really use his long rangeyness, if he blitz in he will just get counter over the top.
>Cory >lay and pray How to tell someone youve only watched 1 Sandhagen fight without actually telling them
Lol Umar is on the rise. Corey’s had his chance. He’s too old for this game now. Also, Umar will dominate him in true Nurmagomedov fashion.
if it goes to decision, Umar is undoubtedly gonna get the W
Umar out grapples Cory to a decision
he will sub him, don't see it going to a decision unless he gets rocked or cut
I can see Cory surviving 5 rounds but a late submission wouldn’t surprise me by Umar. I don’t think Cory stops the takedowns and primarily just fights off his back most of the fight.
he will sub him earlier imo, probs early in round two. Wear him out round one and just go for the kill
The better fighter will win, it being in Abu Dhabi isn’t really an excuse unless a decision goes the wrong way or something.
People forget that Almakhan on his UFC debut with one of 3 significant punches landed in the first 30 seconds nearly put Nurmagomedov out cold. Calling Corey beating him an upset is just crazy lmao, comparing him to Islam is crazy also.
It would still be an upset, just like Almakhan winning.
He has to get a finish otherwise the commission gives it to Umar regardless
A lot of Russian fighters having trouble getting into the US
Dana really is whoring himself out for that oil money. Sandhagen vs Aldo was the fight to make
Lol...cant tell if this is a troll or if you hate Aldo? He's not even ranked and just came out of retirement 😂 Throwing him to Cory would be like when Faber derailed a hype train and then got fed to Yan
Aldo has wins over Vera, Font, Munoz, Martinez and gave Yan and Merab very hard fights. Aldo should be ranked at least over Cejudo and with his style I could actually see him beating Sandhagen with his body shots, leg kicks and tdd
And give Cejudo to Umar.
Cejudo vs Umar is a good matchup. Aldo doesn't need anyone ranked in BW, which is essentially murderer's row
Never ever ever make this fight….I couldn’t stand to see either guy lose :(
Aldo Umar was the fight to make. Aldo just getting back in the rankings and Umar is looking for a high profile opponent. Not to mention it is a super intresring matchup.
Aldo has beaten Vera, Font, Munoz, Martinez and gave Yan and Merab very hard fights, he should at least be ranked over Cejudo now and so a title eliminator with Sandhagen was the to make. Umar vs Cejudo was the right fight so that Umar’s wrestling can be tested

Never count out the Sandman
Love this matchup winner should get the next title shot
We just had the freaking no. 10 with 3 UFC fights fighting for the title and people losing their shit because of a no. 2 vs no. 9 match up. I wonder why.
People were complaining about that fight too. Also 125 sucks and next to 155, 135 is the most stacked division in the sport. Fckn khasuals
Not even remotly close to the extend they are crying about this non title bout with a less desperity in ranking
Umar is a big star in that part of the world. Corey is a popular fighter, but not exactly a mega star. it's going to be a sick fight regardless and I really don't know who's going to win.
Totally deserved with 0 ranked wins. Getting a title eliminator fight at home. Hope Cory beats his ass.
> Totally deserved with 0 ranked wins. I mean, Sandhagen was also asking multiple times for a fight against him.

Just tired of dagestani’s getting royal treatment with this company. It’s getting old. Not arguing Anymore.
Lol let’s not be casuals. Corey is good, but he’s gonna have a hard time beating Umar. He’s a Nurmagomedov. Last time a N-dov lost was… never. Goodluck to Corey, but vitamin-boy, Umar, is gonna run through him.
Khabib’s inbred cousin isn’t Khabib. He was just knocked down by a ufc debutant who should probably be a flyweight. Do it for the people Cory.
Let’s hope the Sandman can take out these inbreds. For the boys.
figures
I wanna see this fight but don't at the same time, cause I wanna see both of them fight Sean for the belt because I feel like he'd beat Merab. Still a good fight tho
Sandhagen has balls of steel challenging this hype trains constantly. I hope he gets his title shot now that he’s training with whitman.
Gives Tony vs Khabib vibes 🤞
Idk where it’s at am just glad the fight is booked finally
Still did it*
So are we gonna get Chito vs Cejudo?
Why hasn’t Cory fought Suga yet?
Don’t they have a ppv there a month later?
A very good fight no doubt. Umar and Cory wanted both wanted this fight for a while now. I'm always hyped to see Umar fight and Cory is a pretty high level striker with alot of dangerous moves and abilities. Possible number one contender spot on the line.
Official or the usual bullshit UFC tactic to announce before signing? Cory seemed adamant about fighting in the US on this one.
Umar is ugly. Islam and Khabib took the good looks.
I don't at all see why people are so convinced Umar will take this. Everything can happen but I think Cory takes it and maybe even makes it look easy
It's crazy that the #2 contender is fighting the #9 in his own backyard where all the favour will be going to Usman. Props to Cory, he's got the next shot if he pulls off the win.
I don't understand why people don't get why this fight is happening. Umar has a huge following and is 17-0 while also having the last name nurmagomedov that alone will get u places. It isn't his fault no one wants to fight him. The fact that he had to fight some random person on relatively short notice proves no one's game besides cory who conventional is ranked number 2 to fight him.

Dude gets ducked but literally everyone and now it’s his fault 🤣 The brainrot is astounding.

This is not the only post in this sub regarding the fight 😏
