Cory Sandhagen looks set to snap an almost year hiatus from the Octagon

As per an initial report from EuroSport reporter, Marcel Dorff, Cory Sandhagen, who co-headlined UFC 267 last October in Abu Dhabi, UAE – is currently targeted to headline a UFC Fight Night event on September 17. against Song Yadong – who has landed victories in each of his last three Octagon outings.

Featuring on ‘Fight Island’ in October, Sandhagen replaced former opponent and current undisputed champion, Aljamain Sterling against Petr Yan – suffering a unanimous decision loss to the Dudinka native over the course of five rounds.

As for Yadong, the Chinese upstart managed to land the most high-profile victory of his UFC tenure so far back in March at UFC Vegas 50 – stopping common-opponent, Marlon Moraes with a blistering first round knockout.

Prior to his loss against Yan, Sandhagen found himself on the wrong end of a close, back-and-forth split decision defeat against former two-time bantamweight best, T.J. Dillashaw in July.

Seeing his two–fight run of consecutive knockout victories halted, the highly-touted, Cory Sandhagen had stopped the aforenoted, Moraes with a thunderous second round spinning wheel kick in October 2020 on ‘Fight Island’.

Scoring another highlight-reel finish, Sandhagen handed former undisputed lightweight titleholder, Frankie Edgar a 28-second flying knee knockout defeat back in February of last year. Sandhagen also holds a judging win over recently minted ONE Championship bantamweight best, John Lineker.

8-1-1 from 10 professional walks, Yadong added the now-retired, Moraes to a run of victories over both Julio Arce, and Kyler Philips.

The 24-year-old uber-prospect also managed to land himself a hugely-close, decision win over the surging, Marlon Vera at UFC Fight Night Jacksonville in May 2020.

Tsarukyan is the more experienced fighter of the two when it comes to competing in the UFC. Whilst he lost his first fight in the promotion against upcoming title challenger Islam Makhachev, ‘Ahalkalakets’ has since racked up five wins in a row.

Usually, these matches are set for three rounds but it seems like the UFC may have planned an exception to the rule to add another fighter to the mix of title contention.

Arman Tsarukyan vs. Mateusz Gamrot: Clash of the Prospects

At the UFC 253 post-fight press conference, the company president Dana White expressed his excitement at the arrival of Mateusz Gamrot in the promotion. Although Gamrot also ended up losing his debut fight in the UFC, the 31-year-old went on to win his next three fights. ‘Gamer’ is going into the bout off an impressive win over Diego Ferreira by submission to knee to the body.

Arman Tsarukyan had called out the entire roster of UFC lightweights for not being willing to take a fight against an opponent that’s lower in the rankings than them. Coming off a bloody TKO win in his last outing, the 25-year-old battered Joel Alvarez to finish him in the second round this past February.

Tsarukyan’s fight with Gamrot will serve as the co-main event of the night under the headlining match of veteran Neil Magny against another hot stock of Shavkat Rakhmonov.

Are you excited to see the fight go for 5 rounds?

At the time of […]

Rafael dos Anjos and Rafael Fiziev were twice scheduled to meet earlier this year

Earlier this year, Rafael dos Anjos was scheduled to UFC Vegas 48 against Fiziev in February, until VISA issues forced the latter from the contest. Rebooked for UFC 272 the following week, dos Anjos once more saw the pairing shelved after Fiziev returned a positive test for COVID-19.

In his most recent outing, however, Rafael dos Anjos would remain in the co-main event bracket of UFC 272 in March, besting compatriot, Renato Moicano in a five round co-headliner on short notice, lodging a unanimous decision success in a 160lb catchweight bout.

Undefeated in his last five straight Octagon outings, Fiziev most recently defeated former training partner, Brad Riddell at UFC Vegas 44 in December of last year, landing a highlight-reel wheel kick and follow up strikes knockout win. ESPN MMA reporter, Brett Okamoto was first to report the news of dos Anjos’ rescheduled matchup with Fiziev.
