2 years agoCory Sandhagen extended his winning streak to three with a lopsided decision win over Rob Font in the main event of UFC Nashville on Saturday. Sandhagen was supposed to face Umar Nurmagomedov, but the Dagestani native had to pull out, and Font replaced him on just two weeks' notice. Right away, Sandhagen used his wrestling to dominate the fight, as he went 7-for-7 on takedown attempts and had nearly 20 minutes of control time. Sandhagen won every single round, and after the fight he revealed he was dealing with a bad elbow injury that forced him to turn to wrestling. With the win, Sandhagen called for a title shot.

2 years agoCory Sandhagen (16-4) is set for his third straight UFC main event when he takes on Rob Font in a 140-pound catchweight fight at UFC Nashville on Saturday. Sandhagen was originally supposed to face Umar Nurmagomedov, but about two weeks from the fight, Nurmagomedov was forced out of the scrap and was replaced by Font. Sandhagen is coming off back-to-back wins over Marlon Vera and Song Yadong and enters this scrap as a sizeable betting favorite. DraftKings has him at a salary of $9,300, which is the second-highest on the card. Sandhagen is currently averaging 91.13 fantasy points per fight and has said that a win here gets him a title shot.

2 years agoCory Sandhagen (15-4) has recently turned around his rough fortunes, winning a fourth-round TKO battle against Song Yadong back in September of last year. Prior to that, Sandhagen had lost back-to-back matchups. A dangerous finisher in the UFC, 10 of his 15 career wins have come by the finish, with seven of them coming via knockout/TKO. Six of his eight UFC wins have in fact come by the finish as well. DraftKings sees Sandhagen as the favorite over Marlon Vera this Saturday with a salary of $8,600. Throughout his UFC career (11 bouts), he averages 88.4 fantasy points per contest. This should serve as an interesting main event, but Sandhagen needs to be careful against a streaking Vera.
