Cory Sandhagen is brimming with confidence ahead of his title tilt with Merab Dvalishvili.
After years of fighting his way up the bantamweight division, ‘Sandman’ will finally have his shot at undisputed gold when he challenges Dvalishvili for the 135-pound crown in the UFC 320 co-main event on Saturday night.
Sandhagen goes into the bout as a winner in three of his last four, including a second-round TKO over flyweight titleholder Deiveson Figueiredo. That victory earned Sandhagen his long-awaited opportunity, and he’s confident that he can deliver a similar result against Dvalishvili in Las Vegas.
