UFC Fight Night Prediction – Cory Sandhagen against Deiseson Figueireed: combat card, start time, opportunities, live stream

Cory Sandhagen and Deiseson Figueiredo are credible bantam weight. Saturday could be your last chance to prove it. Sandhagen and Figueireedo Headline UFC Fight Night in the Moines to prove Iowa with everything.

Sandhagen (17-5) is a strange case. It has been referred to as the future UFC champion for half a decade, but he was repeatedly neglected in crucial moments. The four fighters who defeated Sandhagen in Octagon fought for UFC title immediately afterwards. The status of the size of the size should be frustrating. Sandhagen sees only the beauty.

“I juice as much as possible from my losses …” said Sandhagen to CBS Sports. “Champions sometimes win the smallest margins. The amount of detail you have to pay attention to is incredible. It puts me more every time.

“It doesn't hurt at all. I still have my heart that I will be the champion at some point. It will be so until I am retired or win.”

Figueireedos (24-4-1) campaign to be a two-division champion came across a compact roadblock, Petr Yan size. Up to this point, Figuereedo looked impressively, won three consecutive fights and brought himself to the scope of a title shot. Unfortunately, Yan Figueireedo swept on the scorecards. It seems that the former ambitions of the bantam weight of the King fly weight do not come into play, but it is determined to break through in a crucial fight.

“I'm a guy who is now 37, so I can't miss this opportunity,” said Figuereedo at the UFC Fight Night Media Day on Wednesday. “On Saturday I hit Cory, I will climb the microphone and ask UFC to get this title shot.”

Take a look at the full interview with Cory Sandhagen below.

The Co-Main event in medium weight on Saturday also presents interesting riser in search of gold. If Bo Nickal (7-0) wins, it is no longer a strongly adapted view of the middle weight. He is a benign contender. The three-time NCAA division I champion is one of the most decorated college wrestlers of the mixed martial arts. Nickal spent most of his professional MMA career under the UFC ridge and had his second fight for “Dana White's Contender” series. Saturday is the first time that it does not close as a four -digit betting favorite. It has been fair since he faces his first opponent compared to the official top 15 of the UFC.

“A large part of this fighting camp has had an impact. I wanted to get bigger for the weight class. I might have gone too far,” Nickal told CBS Sports. “Now I have a bit of the consequences. It is part of the weight cut process. I have never missed the weight since my age of five.

Reiner de Ridder (19-2) made headlines after signing the UFC. It is believed that the former simultaneous two-division-one championship defender is one of the best submission artists in sports. An untidy, tedious victory against Gerald Meschaert cooled down the hype, but his 90-second submission from Kevin Holland turned upside down. The question is whether de Ridder can lose a wrestler from Nickal from Nickal, a necessary step to implement de Ridder's praise.

“I was a takedown artist first. I was a judoka as a child,” said de Ridder to CBS Sports. “Takedowns have always been a large part of my game. I have boys before he was rank.

“I always go out and come to the boys as quickly as possible … I want to put him a lot of pressure on him. I would like to hit him with a few good shots. He has not yet been hit with anything.

The Solid Card on Saturday also includes a Pick'em brawl between Santiago Ponzinibbio and Daniel Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens' reception after defeating the former UFC champion Eddie Alvarez in Bare Knuckle Boxing. The former Bantamweight champion of the UFC women, Miesha Tate, describes the provisional card against Yana Santos.

In the following you will find the rest of the combat card for Saturday with the latest chances of winning before we reach a prediction and select the main event.

forecast

Cory Sandhagen vs. Deiverson Figueredo: Figueireedo does not operate the same co -performance in the bantam weight area. “The God of War” made a knockdown in four fights with a bantam weight and couldn't end it. It is well rounded, but Figuedo's finishing capacity really distinguishes him from most fly weights. He is robbed by this power and he will fight against other complete fighters. “The Sandman” has also been struggling with surfaces lately, but its natural difference in size makes a big difference. Sandhagen has a height of six inches and a 3-inch range compared to Figueireedo. Both have a comparable striking defense and takedown statistics. Figueiredo is the better submission artist, but Sandhagen is almost impossible to end. The status that is most important for this fight is a remarkable performance that Sandhagen runs with more than three strikes per minute. A finish is unlikely for both fighters, so Sandhagen's ability to count strikes will gain a decision. Sandhagen by unanimous decision
