UFC bantamweight contender Cory Sandhagen may have just punched his ticket to a massive championship main event later on in 2025.
Cory Sandhagen Nets Monumental Victory in Iowa
Making his return after suffering a unanimous decision setback to Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC on ABC 7 last August, Cory Sandhagen took on another highly-touted competitor in the headlining bout of UFC Des Moines. Locking horns with a former champion this time around, the Colorado native clashed with previous two-time flyweight king Deiveson Figueiredo.
Seeking to rebound from his own disappointing defeat to Petr Yan last November, the Brazilian would have likely put himself in the conversation for the next title opportunity.
