Cory Sandhagen has stated in his post fight interview that he is 'a different animal' since he lost to Aljamain Sterling last year and would definitely hurt the latter if there was a rematch. Cory Sandhagen was also humble enough to accept that he was thankful to Aljamain Sterling for teaching him a lesson-

If he wins, I want Yan. Same with Sterling too though. I'm a different animal. You guys have seen me in the last two fights, I'm a different animal since I fight with Sterling. I'm grateful that he got to teach me a lesson but the next time we fight, I'm gonna hurt...I'm gonna hurt Aljamain.

Does Cory Sandhagen deserve a title shot?

The bantamweight champion Petr Yan will look to defend his belt against Aljamain Sterling at UFC 259 in March this year. After knocking out veteran Frankie Edgar , Cory Sandhagen is looking at the winner of Petr Yan vs Aljamain Sterling for his next fight.

Cory Sandhagen has also won five of his last six fights, with his only loss coming to Aljamain Sterling.

After that Cory Sandhagen delivered a highlight-reel spinning wheel kick to finish Marlon Moraes in the second round at UFC Fight Night in Abu Dhabi, UAE. With his first round KO of Frankie Edgar, who was a former stable mate of Marlon Moraes, Cory Sandhagen certainly is a potential contender for the bantamweight title.
