UFC Fight Night results, highlights: Cory Sandhagen dismantled before the injury is completed

Cory Sandhagen is intended to fulfill his dreams. Often the bridesmaid, but never the bride, Sandhagen, has achieved one of his most impressive victories so far and, in the main event of the UFC Fight Night, reduced the former UFC fly weight champion Deverson Figueiedo. On Saturday, Sandhagen nailed his audition for an undisputed UFC title shot.

“I have dreamed of being more than half a life a world champion,” said Sandhagen after his second Tko victory in the Moines, Iowa. “UFC, please give me the opportunity to show how great I am all over the world. Please.”

Sandhagen threw a perfect game against Figueiredo. “The Sandman” closes Figueiredo's leg lock attempts, rained strikes and probably won a 10: 8 round round. Figueireedo's fruitless commitment to leg attacks was unusual and inevitably his downfall. In round 2 Sandhagen returned in a 50-50 position induced by leg attacks while he has involved. Figueireedo quickly submitted while screaming with pain. The referee ruled the fight against Sandhagen due to an injury.

Sandhagen (18-5) has lost four times in the UFC. Every time the person who hit him fought for the title of UFC Bantamweight. A crucial victory on Saturday, even with the unusual interruption, was crucial after losing the last title challenger against Umar Nurmagomedov, UFC Bantamweight Champion Merab Dvishvili's.

“Nothing fires you like a loss. I have a really good team behind me,” said Sandhagen. “We work in the butt. One day I will be a champion.

“I am ready to win this belt. Sean O'malley or Merab, I want the winner. I will be the backup if you want.”

While Sandhagen continues in his bantam weight title campaign, Figueireedo (24-5-1) has to cure and re-evaluate. There is a sensible gap between the former two-time flyweight Champ Figuereiedo and the Bantam weight crown. He started his 135 pound campaign with three consecutive victories, but is now fighting with two defeats and apparently an injury.
