Cory Sandhagen Dominates Striking Department
2 years agoEarly domination of the five-round affair led to Cory Sandhagen walking out of Saturday's main event as the victor over fellow top-ranked foe Marlon Vera. In 25 minutes of action, Sandhagen scored a very solid 128 significant strikes (187 total strikes) and landed three takedowns while locking in over seven minutes of control time. Controlling the first half and end of the contest could have been what gave Sandhagen the slight nod over Vera. Sandhagen now moves to 9-3 in the UFC and has been victorious in four of his last six bouts. He finds himself one step closer to earning a bantamweight title shot if he can keep this up.
