Cory Sandhagen vs Umar Nurmagomedov is Higher Level Than You Realize | Sandhagen vs Umar Breakdown

Elite UFC Bantamweight Cory Sandhagen faces surging UFC bantamweight contender Umar Nurmagomedov on August 5th, 2023 for a UFC Fight Night. This is a much higher level fight than most fans know because Umar Nurmagomedov’s skillset in both the grappling and in the striking is very reminiscent of Islam Makhachev more so than it is reminiscent of his cousin Khabib Nurmagomedov. Cory Sandhagen on the other hand has proven himself a dangerous member of the top bantamweights but beating names like Marlon Chito Vera and Song Yadong. This is a very tough fight to predict a winner, but Cory Sandhagen has done so much in the UFC and his experience as well as his well-roundedness in striking and grappling might be what edges out a victory over Umar Nurmagomedov.
