Cory is a beast. He takes the toughest fights and is the most advanced fighter in the game. Unfortunately, he lacks the power in his hands to cash in on the tactical advantages.

His corner should be berating him for attempting a close wheel kick against a vet like Dillashaw. That was amateur. When he was keeping it tight with the switch up one two combos, he was piecing TJ up. Never turn your back on a wrestler. It's an invitation for them to close distance, given as a present with a bow tie on top.

@LocalleftyDG Год назад

Too much credit was given for "controlling the ring" imo. It was no doubt a close fight, but based on damage done alone, Sandhagen should've gotten the W. The takedowns and grappling along the fence didn't do enough damage. The leg kicks by Dillashaw earned him something, but I think Sandhagen was definitely robbed here.

@Skemr023 Год назад

If you wanna judge a fight purely on damage, then ask Sandhagen how he walked the following morning. Anyone who ever had some matches knows that, Tj looks damaged and the blood gives you an ever bigger ilusion however Cory was probably a plant in the following 2 weeks.

A flying knee to an inverted triangle. That's something you don't see everyday. You'd probably have to script it or choreograph it or for a movie or something. Thing is tho that triangle wasn't connected right it looks like. He didn't have the positioning of his legs right. He had them positioned the opposite of how they should have been. The triangle of his leg was under the arm as opposed to on the neck with the other leg under the arm like it should have been. Had he done it right that might have ended up being the craziest submission ever. Craziest finish even. It would have been like Joaquin Buckley's kick knockout or something

Gotta agree with this. Sandhagen thought he was there and definitely coasted at some points in this fight. Dillashaw came up with a master class of looking good while losing. Almost every flashy move from Sandhagen ended in a clinch or takedown by Dillashaw. Sandhagen had his number on the combos but he doesn't show it. It's a small miracle that Dillashaw was allowed to finish the fight and managed to steal the win. If Sandhagen had kept it basic and boring he'd have won this easily but he had been so successful with the flashy stuff in the fights before this one that he couldn't help himself. Sandhagen lost because he allowed Dillashaw to look good.

@@TheStraightestWhitest You must be one of those people who think he's not very good. Stop underestimating him, only Yan has made him look bad. But Aljo dispatched of Cory in less than a round, and stylistically he's a tough one for Cory. TJ is on the older side so a victory over him is less than guaranteed. Aldo is really the only one other than Yan who is a toughout for Aljo.

This was an incredible fight. These types of fights make guys like Sandhagen be just as impactful as the champions in their divisions. That's the bar. TJ is a vet and they looked like equals. Glad to revisit this one. 2020-present, not outta poor memory, but genuinely, out of honesty, I think have been the best, most competitive years the UFC has seen in most of its weight classes. There's so much more to everyone's game now, and we're seeing athletes compete that are skilled in almost every facet of the sport rather than just in stand up or just on the ground, only in wrestling or only in boxing, extc, and what's more, the athletes that are like that arent just the champs. It's most everyone in each division's top (fifteen) ten.

At any weight especially 135. In all honesty I originally thought Corey should have gotten his hand raised , Winning by a very small margin, but after watching it again, I see how the judges scored this for TJ. He definitely had some good control time.
