UFC champ Aljamain Sterling gives technical breakdown on Merab Dvalishvili vs. Cory Sandhagen

UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling says Cory Sandhagen would have a tough time with Merab Dvalishvili in a potential fight.

This past Saturday, Sandhagen earned a split decision against Marlon Vera at UFC San Antonio. After his win, the ‘Sandman’ expressed interest in Dvalishvili, a fellow contender he deemed the ‘perfect challenge’ for his style of fighting.

Sterling and Dvalishvili were in attendance for Vera vs. Sandhagen, so the duo got some intel from their respective performances. And from what the ‘Funk Master’ saw, he would expect his Serra-Longo Fight Team teammate to ‘break’ Sandhagen.
