Bantamweight Iuri Alcantara has nothing but praise for UFC Lincoln opponent, Cory Sandhagen. After securing a tight armbar in the first round of the bout, ‘Marajo’ was able to bend Sandhagen’s arm the wrong for a long time, which would have made many other fighters quit, but it was not enough this time around.
Once Sandhagen escaped the submission, he was able to break Alcantara’s nose with ground and pound, which ended up as a Sandhagen TKO victory. . After having surgery on his nose, Iuri told Combate that Cory deserves all the merit for the win.
