Fight Preview
So how entertaining this matchup will be? Well, here is what we think about how it will be played. First, Corey Sandhagen is an absolute stud on the ground with great tools striking in his armoury. Second, the only time was beaten thoroughly was through a rear neck choke by Aljamain Sterling, and that was quite astonishing. So how they fight might look like.
Well, it would be more standup fight as we can see both fighters are good at striking. Unfortunately, with the likes of TJ Dillashaw, you will see more bad blood and trash talk in between the rounds. Cory can get a good advantage of his feet work and also kicks with keeping range with opponents. Dillashaw has to draw everything to make the fight look nasty and bloody as tactics would not work against Sandhagen.
