Cory Sandhagen believes his style could pose challenges for Merab Dvalishvili
Cory Sandhagen recently gave his opinion on the bantamweight title fight between Merab Dvalishvili and Umar Nurmagomedov. 'The Machine' secured an impressive victory over the 29-year-old Russian and retained his bantamweight crown.
During a recent appearance on MMA on SiriusXM, Sandhagen, who lost against Nurmagomedov, said:
"Not to be clickbaity, but I do think that I have the style to beat Merab. You can say whatever you want about my style, but I do believe that I have some of the best footwork in the sport, and I can create space better than anyone... I think that I have his [Dvalishvili's] kryptonite."
