There are only two fighters who make sense to be Cory Sandhagen’s next opponent.

Sandhagen returned to the win column with an emphatic second-round TKO win over Marlon Moraes in the UFC Fight Island 5 headliner on Saturday night.

It put Sandhagen right back into the title mix as he bounced back from what he labeled to be an “embarrassing” first-round submission loss to Aljamain Sterling in June. That victory for Sterling all but assured him of the next shot at the bantamweight title and although it’s yet to be official, it’s highly-expected that the next championship fight will see him face current champion Petr Yan.

If that is the case, Sandhagen only envisions two fighters for him to face next.

“The only other guys who have an argument is TJ when he gets back in January and Frankie [Edgar],” Sandhagen said in his post-fight interview with Dan Hardy. “All the respect to both of those guys but I want that belt. Those are the only two guys ahead of me and then I want the winner of Yan vs. Sterling.”

Dillashaw, of course, is serving a two-year ban from USADA after testing positive for EPO in 2019. He will be eligible to compete in January and a fight with Sandhagen would certainly be an intriguing affair.

Edgar, meanwhile, recently enjoyed a successful bantamweight debut after outpointing Pedro Munhoz in their August headliner.

For now, we’ll have to wait and see what the UFC’s plans are.

Who do you want to see Sandhagen face next?

Earlier tonight (Saturday, October 10^th. 2020) UFC Fight Night: Moraes vs Sandhagen took place from the Flash Forum on ‘Fight Island’ on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

In the main event, we saw a bout between two top-ranking Bantamweight’s Marlon Moraes and Cory Sandhagen. The result saw Sandhagen find the finish via a stunning wheel kick in round two. In the co-main event, we saw a three-round striking clinic from Edson Barboza who found victory over Makwan Amirkhani. The first round saw Barboza establish a small lead on scorecards leading into the second where he showcased some impressive knockdowns to take the round. In the final round, Amirkhani managed to take the fight to the ground and accrue some control time before the pair returned to their feet and Barboza continued to land effective strikes. Outside of these two fights, there were plenty of moments warranting of bonuses on the card.

The First Performance of the Night went to Joaquin Buckley for his stunning spinning back kick knockout of Impa Kasanganay. Spoken of by many as the greatest knockout in UFC history, Buckley threw a kick that was caught by Kasanganay, he then proceeded to hop in the air and throw a spinning back kick that would secure him the win and a heft bonus cheque.

The second Performance of the Night came in the next fight between Chris Daukaus and Rodrigo Nascimento Ferreira. After initially knocking Ferreira down and landing some ground and pound Daukaus let Ferreira up to his feet just to knock him back down and close the fight.

The Third Performance of the Night went to Tom Breese for his first-round knockout of K.B. Bhullar. The finish started with a straight left that sat down his opponent and allowed him to finish the fight with hammer fists.

The final Performance of the Night bonus went to Cory Sandhagen in the main event. After a competitive first-round Sandhagen came out in the second landing a head kick on Moraes. Following this, he continued pressing forward throwing a spinning heel kick that knocked Moraes down. Sandhagen immediately jumped on top of him and finished the fight via ground and pound shortly after.

Cory Sandhagen Launches Stunning Wheel Kick To Finish Marlon Moraes – UFC Fight Island 5 Highlights

#4 ranked contender, Cory Sandhagen entered tonight’s headliner opposite one-time title challenger, Marlon Moraes as the betting favourite – and he’s most definitely upset the bantamweight apple cart with a stunning wheel-kick knockout over the Brazilian in the second round.

Sandhagen, ever the one to vary his strikes – landed to the legs, body, and head on cue throughout the opening round to grab Moraes’ attention. Dropping a later takedown after scoring a punishing body kick – Sandhagen may have just about found himself on the wrong end of the opening scorecard.

After finding a home for a high kick early in the second-frame – Sandhagen informed his corner that Moraes has broken his orbital bone, before launching a stunning wheel kick – catching the Brazilian on the top of his head. Following up with ground-and-pound, Sandhagen forced referee Marc Goddard to step in and call a halt to the action – securing the biggest win of his career to date.

With eyes firmly planted on the winner of the long rumoured bantamweight title clash of champion, Petr Yan and former opponent, Aljamain Sterling – Sandhagen noted the title aspirations of former division best, T.J. Dillashaw who returns from suspension in January, as well as former lightweight champion, Frankie Edgar – aspirations he holds himself.

Below, catch the highlights from Sandhagen’s shocking knockout of Moraes.

LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Fight Night: Moraes vs. Sandhagen Results throughout the night (Sat. 10th. October 2020) from the Flash Forum on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Taking main event honours, one-time bantamweight title challenger, ‘Magic’ Marlon Moraes looks to possibly earn another crack at division gold, as he meets with division all-rounder, Cory Sandhagen. Hoping to score his second consecutive win, Moraes last featured at UFC 245 in December of last year – taking home a close split decision win over former featherweight champion, José Aldo. Despite the close win, Moraes was overlooked in favour hos compatriot Aldo in regards to a title shot. Hoping to rebound to winning ways, Sandhagen dropped his first promotional loss when he dropped a rear-naked choke defeat to Aljamain Sterling at UFC 250 in June.

In our night’s co-main event, former lightweight mainstay, Edson ‘Junior’ Barboza looks to score his premier victory at his new featherweight home, as he clashes with Finish grappling ace, Makwan ‘Mr. Finland’ Amirkhani on short-notice. Barboza was originally scheduled to meet with ‘Super’ Sodiq Yussuf – with passport issues preventing the streaking division prospect from making the date.

In his second Octagon outing of the year, Barboza attempts to rebound to winning ways after a close decision loss to ‘Dynamite’ Dan Ige at UFC Fight Night Jacksonville in May. Making his second appearance on ‘Fight Island’ this year – Amirkhani scored an eye-catching anaconda finish over Danny Henry in July.
