Often touted as the krpytonite to bantamweight force, Merab Dvalishvili, incoming headliner, Cory Sandhagen claims he has more tools and ability than his divisional peers to end the Georgian’s new reign as the best in the division.
Sandhagen, a one-time interim title challenger, is slated to return in a high-profile main event at UFC Fight Night Des Moines as soon as May.
Matching up with former flyweight champion, Deiveson Figueiredo — a statement victory for Sandhagen or the Brazilian powerhouse may prove enough for them to rubber-stamp their route to a title fight.
