Following a second-round finish over No. 1 ranked bantamweight contender Marlon Moraes in the UFC Fight Island 5 main event, Cory Sandhagen isn’t asking for a title shot. But he certainly wouldn’t turn one down.
After falling to Aljamain Sterling back in June, Sandhagen returned with a statement performance on Saturday night when he unleashed a spinning heel kick that blasted Moraes on the top of his head, leading to a TKO just a few seconds later.
Sandhagen is now 6-1 in the UFC with his lone loss coming to Sterling, who appears to be next in line for a shot at current champion Petr Yan.
