Alexandr Ormanji | Published March 6, 2024, 12:19 p.m.

Cory Sandhagen, the No. 4 ranked fighter in the UFC's lightweight division, has responded to the challenge he has been given by Umar Nurmagomedov.

"I wouldn't mind fighting Umar, especially if it's a title fight. If they rate him that high, then yeah, let's do it. Let's decide who should fight for the belt next so there's no more questions. If I win the next fight against Umar, there will be absolutely no argument that I should not fight for the belt," Sandhagen told CBS Sports.

Recall, Nurmagomedov stated his desire to fight Sandhagen after his win over Bekzat Almahan at UFC Fight Night 238.
