Top American UFC bantamweight fighter Corey Sandhagen commented on the information that undefeated division prospect Umar Nurmagomedov has been scheduled for the next fight.
Earlier it became known that the Dagestani will return to the Octagon on March 2. The name of his opponent has not yet been reported.
“Is Umar scheduled for a fight? I did not know about it. We discussed the option of moving our fight to another date. I don’t know who will fight him. I met the UFC halfway and gave Umar a chance, although he only had four fights here and so far withdraws from fights more often than he fights.
He is low in the rankings, and I have been in the top 5 for several years. I was ready to fight. We’ll see how he does against someone tougher,” Sandhagen said on The MMA Hour.
Let us remember that Sandhagen and Nurmagomedov were supposed to share the octagon in August last year, but the latter dropped out due to a shoulder injury.
